👉 A geochronologist is a specialist who studies the age of rocks and minerals, which can be found in ancient environments. They use techniques like radiocarbon dating to determine how old various materials are, such as sedimentary rock or mineral samples. This field helps researchers understand past climates, ecosystems, and human history by studying these materials over time. Geochronologists often work with museums, universities, and other institutions that have collections of ancient rocks or minerals for study.
