ASICA

‘Airborne Stable Isotopes of Carbon from the Amazon’ is a project (ERC consolidator) that aims to measure stable isotopes of CO₂ in air from the Amazon. The project started in 2015 and will run for five years. Over that period, we will collect thousands of air samples using light aircraft over the Amazon. In various laboratories in Brazil and the Netherlands we will measure levels of CO₂, and of its of δ¹³C and Δ17O isotope ratios.
