Research focus
Stable isotope research in Biogeochemistry including stable hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and chlorine measurements of several target molecules
Specific research focus:
- δ13C and δ2H signatures of methoxy groups (-OCH3) for paleoclimatic studies (mainly tree ring studies), authenticity control (specifically vanillin) and biosynthesis studies of C1 organic volatile compounds (e.g. CH4, CH3Cl)
- Constraining the atmospheric chloromethane budget using triple element stable isotope signatures (δ2H, δ13C and δ37Cl) (DFG project since 02/2022)
- Chloromethane formation and degradation in plants
- Development of pre-concentration units to analyse trace gases in the ppmv to pptv range
- Development of new methods and reference materials for the reliable measurement of stable isotope ratios
