Isotope Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry combines core principles of isotopes and chemistry with cutting-edge observations to analyze natural systems. With a rich tradition of creating specialized instruments, our research spans from extraterrestrial phenomena and solar system formation to solving critical modern challenges in resources and environmental issues. We examine valuable specimens including lunar and Martian materials, uncommon meteorites, and NASA mission returns. Our studies focus on deciphering the origins of solar system components, the chronology of meteorite formation, and the evolution of early celestial bodies that shaped terrestrial planets. Projects explore Earth's mantle dynamics, volcanic mechanisms in regions like Iceland, and employ isotopic techniques to monitor ocean currents, climate shifts, carbon capture solutions, and drinking water pollution affecting populations worldwide.
