| What We Do at ENRI-SIL |
| The ENRI-SIL is a state-of-the-art analytical facility that uses stable isotopes (dD, d13C, d15N, d18O) to understand biological, hydrologic, climatic and atmospheric processes on short and long time scales. |
|
|
Portions of our research focuses on: a) marine-terrestrial nutrient linkages using d15N, b) leaf and plant-level carbon (d13C), water (d18O & dD) and nutrient relations in response to natural gradients and climate change experiments and c) metabolic processes of small arctic mammals. |
| The laboratory is leading the analysis of precipitation samples collected each Tuesday across the entire US as apart of the US Network for Isotopes in Precipitation (USNIP) and in the studies of migratory dynamics of waterfowl in Alaska using isotope forensic in bird feathers. |
|
|
The lab shares a strong collaboration with the National Atmospheric Deposition Network (NADP) as part of the USNIP. Additional collaborators include the USGS and colleagues across UAA and Anchorage.
