I heard on the radio today about the use of peat cores for climate change measuring. It was pioneered here in the UK and can go back 10,000 years to the ice age. I thought that this would be another useful tool to triangulate dates with ice cores, radio carbon and tree rings - I don't recall seeing anything here on it. If there was a global flood, I'd also expect to see very strong evidence in these cores for it.
I'm not proposing to do any research on this - life's too busy atm, but I'm guessing that RAZD might want a go at it (if it isn't already known).
Here's a starter

I can help getting any published papers if needed.

This is the radio programme I got it from - it's a BBC talk programme called 'The Life Scientific' which is a 30 minute show on individual researchers talking about their stuff. Interesting in its own right. Only a few minutes are on peat cores. You can get it here:
BBC Radio 4 - The Life Scientific, Kathy Willis on botany
Hopefully, IP rights issues don't get in the way.
