Title：Understanding the stable isotope composition of methane
Speaker：Prof. Susan Waldron, University of Glasgow, UK
Prof. Susan Waldron (PI) is Chair in Biogeochemistry and heads the Carbon Landscape Research Group (www.carbonlandscapes.org), funded (>￡1.5M) by NERC, EPSRC, SSER & SNH. A geologist by training, her research has focussed on carbon and macronutrient cycles and her NERC Advanced Fellowship research developed expertise in generating and interpreting continuously-logged hydrochemical measurements to understand transfer of C and macronutrients from terrestrial to aquatic systems. She has now expanded that to trace C flow to the atmosphere, and using 14C as a tracer, and is in receipt of NERC support for 14C-dating of C species in and CO2 efflux from Greenland glacier meltwater, and to identify the source of in-situ CO2 in water bodies of different trophic status.
