| Lab | Description |
|---|---|
| Colorado Plateau SIL | Based at Northern Arizona University (NAU), the Colorado Plateau Stable Isotope Laboratory (CPSIL) is designed to serve undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty at NAU who require carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and/or hydrogen stable-isotope analyses for their research. Additionally, scientists from other institutions are welcome to send us their samples for isotope analysis. CPSIL is housed in the Department of Biological Sciences at NAU and is also affiliated with the Departments of Geology, Forestry, and Environmental Sciences, and with the Merriam-Powell Center for Environmental Research. |
| Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry | |
| NOAA CMDL CCGGG | The NOAA Carbon Cycle Greenhouse Gases group makes ongoing discrete measurements from land and sea surface sites and aircraft, and continuous measurements from baseline observatories and tall towers. These measurements document the spatial and temporal distributions of carbon-cycle gases and provide essential constraints to our understanding of the global carbon cycle. |
| SIL University of Washington | 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. |
| SIRFER -University of Utah | The Stable Isotope Ratio Facility for Environmental Research (SIRFER) is a research and recharge facility within the Biology Department at the University of Utah. We are located in room 510 Skaggs Biology. This mass spectrometer facility serves research and teaching needs for stable isotope ratio analyses and offers both undergraduate and graduate classes in stable isotope ecology. |
