Stable isotope geochemistry of waters

This project is ongoing.

This work will involve the analysis of natural water samples for light stable isotope analysis (oxygen and hydrogen). It will involve use of a vacuum extraction system and analysis using a laser stable isotope spectrometer. The project will look at how lab preparation influences stable isotope values of water samples, sediment pore waters and plant materials. There will be opportunities to develop independent study projects and publish.

I'M INTERESTED IN THIS PROJECT. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

The Office of Undergraduate Research recommends that you attend an info session or advising before contacting faculty members or project contacts about research opportunities. We'll cover the steps to get involved, tips for contacting faculty, funding possibilities, and options for course credit. Once you have attended an Office of Undergraduate Research info session or spoken to an advisor, you can use the "Who to contact" details for this project to get in touch with the project leader and express your interest in getting involved.
