Carbon Dioxide’s Fingerprint
In the year 2000, Harro Meijer, Professor of Isotope Physics at the University of Groningen, set up the Lutjewad Measurement Station near Hornhuizen. That is where he and his team have been measuring the composition of the atmosphere, including carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the air, for over 25 years. By looking at the various forms of carbon in the measurements, researchers from Groningen are mapping where the CO2 originates and where it ends up.
