Isotope Geochemistry Lab

The lab is composed of members of the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences and LDEO with a wide range of interests, united by a passion for scientific inquiry and discovery. Current projects range from studies of magmatic processes to chemical oceanography, from the history of the early Earth to recent climate changes. Most studies utilize the products of natural radioactive decay in rocks and waters, as process tracers and to determine absolute ages.
