An CRDS (Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy, Picarro L2140-i) laser spectrometer
It allows very high precision measurements of δD, δ17O and δ18O on samples of’water of 2 ml and on the water vapour.

Picarro L2140-i CRDS

Applications

The compositions in δ18O, δ17O, 17O-excess and d-excess of water (precipitation, lakes, springs, etc..) and water vapour are used at CEREGE for :

  • Quantification of fractionations at the subsurface-surface (including vegetation) - atmosphere interface.
  • Tracing the water cycle at this same interface.
