All Academics

• WAHLEN, MARTIN - Professor
•  Reconstruction of paleoatmospheres from ice core records in Greenland and Antarctica back to > 500,000 years covering at least 5 glacial/interglacial cycles; main emphasis is to reconstruct atmospheric CO2 and d13CO2.
•  Global biogeochemical cycles of radiatively important atmospheric trace gases; biosphere-atmosphere interaction.
•  Stable isotopes in atmospheric CO2 (d13C and d18O) to arrive at improved global carbon cycle budgets (in collaboration with C. D. Keeling).
•  Stable isotopes of Cl and Br in aerosols to determine if Cl and Br radicals are produced in the troposphere.
•  Investigations on CO2, CH4, 85Kr and N2O in the stratosphere (and their isotopic species 13C and 18O in CO2, 13C, D and 14C and CH4, 15N and 18O in N2O) to determine the troposphere/stratosphere air exchange rate.
•  Process-oriented studies to determine the significance of 18O in atmospheric CO2.
