Isotopic Studies

  • 14C Preparation Lab

    The Raymond lab has the capability to convert any type of carbon sample, including dissolved organic carbon, to purified CO2 for AMS analysis. Samples are then shipped to either NOSAMS or Arizona for 14C analysis.

  • Yale Center for stable isotopic studies

Coastal Research

Watershed Research

  • Data Mining

    Often in collaboration with the Yale Center for Earth Observation, students and post docs in the Raymond lab use existing data to study the controls the lateral transport of carbon and nutrients to streams and rivers.

  • Field Studies

    In addition to data mining, the Raymond laboratory uses bulk and isotopic measurements and high frequency probes and instrumentation to study the controls of the transport of carbon and nutrients to streams and rivers. Sites currently include local watersheds and the Harvard Forest.
