Carbon Gas Isotopes Analysis: a key field and laboratory measurement platform to assess the sources and fates of different carbon pools in freshwater ecosystems.
EF 2012-13
Résumé
The present proposal aims at enabling our research group to use the latest technology to test specific hypotheses about 1) the sources, transformation and emission of greenhouse gases from lakes, 2) the community structure response of elevated CO2 in lakes and 3) methane production dynamics in the water column. All these projects will make extensive use of dual isotope gas analyzer (13C of CO2 and CH4) using cavity ring-down mass spectrometry technology.
