rplum: Bayesian Age-Depth Models for Pb-210 Dated Cores

An approach for Bayesian age-depth modelling that reconstructs accumulation histories for deposits dated by Pb-210. The method, developed by Maarten Blaauw and described in Aquino et al. (2018), can integrate Pb-210, radiocarbon, and other dates into chronologies. The underlying code is derived in part from the 'rbacon' package by the same authors.

Use Cases

• Reconstructing sediment accumulation histories based on Pb-210 dating.
• Building integrated chronologies based on the combination of Pb-210 and radiocarbon dates.
• Applying Bayesian statistical models to geochronological data as described in the referenced paper.

Strengths

• Implements a published Bayesian statistical approach from Aquino et al. (2018).
• Designed to combine multiple dating methods like Pb-210 and radiocarbon.

Limitations

• Dataset size, column definitions, and sample data are unknown.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
