Research on the Global Scale
CH4 isotopic compositions and modeling: Refining the global isotope budget through additional measurements and 3D modeling (e.g., needed for Kyoto Protocol)
N2O isotopic compositions and analysis: Refining the global isotope budget through additional measurements in the stratosphere, troposphere, Amazon Forest, temperate agricultural sites, and controlled laboratory experiments on microorganisms
Isotopic measurements for NASA field campaigns (WB-57F aircraft and high altitude balloons): To aid in 'validating' AURA satellite measurements and to resolve outstanding chemistry and transport issues in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere, such as water vapor transport and its trends and ozone depletion and the recovery of the ozone layer in the context of global change
CO2 isotopic compositions, analysis, and modeling: New stratospheric and upper tropospheric measurements and their global scale modeling (2D) and their application as a new tracer of ozone depletion to understand why models are still not 'hindcasting' properly the ozone trends observed
