Mass spectrometer used for analyzing stable water isotope ratio

Schematic illustration of stable water isotope in hydrological cycle

Stable water isotopic information is useful tool for investigation of the hydrologic cycle. Yoshimura Lab.’s mission is to investigate complex behavior of water transport by using mass spectrometers installed in Chiba Experimental Station. Isotopic information often turns into proxy of past climate and hydrology, so that Lab. also contributes to understand the past and to improve the future climate projection accuracy.
