Compound specific stable isotopes (δ15N, δD, δ13C) – Amino acids – Lipids – Isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) – Chromatography

 

 

Current projects

  • A comparison of bulk stable isotopes (δ15N, δ13C) in gill and white muscle tissue of fish from the Dutch Wadden Sea.

  • Why does lipid extraction cause a change in δ15N of tissue?

  • Using δ15N of amino acids to decipher sources of organic carbon to the Dutch Wadden Sea food webs
