Abstract
Theoretical treatment of C-14 variations in natural geophysical reservoirs using Box models are made. Analytical expressions are derived for the variation of C-14 for various cases such as a sudden variation or sinusoidal variation in its production rate. The numerical values are got from the computer using simple programmes to evaluate the comparatively complicated analytical expressions.
