The major purpose of the workshop is to utilize rare isotopes in CO₂ for various biogeochemical applications. Rare isotopes include the so-called “clump” (essentially the ¹³C-¹⁸O bond) and oxygen anomaly (the deviation of ¹⁷O abundance from the terrestrial partitioning between the three oxygen isotopes).
We will be focusing on atmospheric CO₂ on the first day, with the new constraints from clump and oxygen anomaly, to refine the current knowledge of carbon cycles. The second day will be on how to utilize the two rare isotopes (with CO₂ extracted from carbonates) for paleoclimate related researches, and a round-table discussion the last day.
