Maarten Blaauw is palaeoecologist and chronological modeller. Blaauw is Director of the 14CHRONO Centre for Climate, the Environment, and Chronology[1] at Queen's University Belfast.
Biography[edit]
Blaauw has an MSc (1998) from University of Groningen. He was awarded his PhD from University of Amsterdam in 2003. He was a postdoctoral research assistant (PDRA) in the Botany Department at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland from 2003 to 2004, after which he moved to Department of Statistics and Probability, Centro de Investigación en Matemáticas, Guanajuato, Mexico for a second PDRA in 2005–2006. This was followed by a PDRA at the Department of Earth Sciences Uppsala University in 2006. He joined the School of Geography, Archaeology and Palaeocology at Queen's University Belfast in 2007 and became a Lecturer there in 2010. He was subsequently promoted to Senior Lecturer and Reader. In 2022 he became the Director of the 14CHRONO Centre for Climate, the Environment, and Chronology at Queen's.
Blaauw developed innovative open-source software for chronological modelling including clam[2] and Bacon.[3] These software packages are widely used by the global palaeo-community to produce more realistic chronologies with reliable precision estimates for studies ranging from records of microplastic pollution in the Mediterranean [4] to climate and vegetation history during the Holocene [5] to dating of the 65Ma mega-extinction event.[6] Bacon and clam are the most popular classical and Bayesian age-models with more citations than any other age-depth modeling software packages.[7] Blaauw has also been instrumental in developing software for Lead 210 dating analysis [8] and radiocarbon calibration. The software clam,[9] rbacon,[10] rintcal[11] and rplum [12] are each freely available as an R package.
In addition, the Neotoma Paleoecology Database (https://www.neotomadb.org/) funded in part by the US National Science Foundation uses Bacon to produce age-depth models for hundreds of Neotoma cores.[13]
