Located at the lovely University of Washington in the new state of the art Oceanography Science Building. The Stable Isotope Laboratory is doing basic research on greenhouse gases and ocean chemistry. We are using a Finnigan MAT 251 and a DELTA plus isotope ratio mass spectrometers to measure the stable isotope ratios of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. Our research projects include studies to determine the fate of fossil fuel derived CO2, the source of the increases in atmospheric methane and carbon monoxide concentrations, the rate of biological photosynthesis and respiration in rivers, lakes and ocean and the rates of large scale circulation in the ocean using chemical tracers. |
