Water isotope analysis

Hydrogen and oxygen isotope analysis of precipitation, surface water and groundwater for hydrological and environmental research.

What we measure

  • Hydrogen isotope composition: δ²H
  • Oxygen isotope composition: δ¹⁸O
  • Water-source and evaporation studies using paired isotope measurements

Analytical platform

Picarro L2130-i cavity ring-down spectroscopy, calibrated using reference waters on the VSMOW–SLAP scale.

Applications

Groundwater recharge, surface-water interactions, evaporation processes and watershed water-source tracing.
