At the UMD Panorama Laboratory, we are exploring how isotopologues and isotope ratios (such as for methane – see image on left) will provide fundamental information about the atmospheric methane cycle.  

Our current activities are aimed at (1) characterizing and apportioning regional methane emissions sources with the larger goal of apportioning those and (2) adding to understanding of Global Atmospheric methane by analyzing methane archives and and developing a case for global methane isotopologue monitoring. 

While the atmospheric cycle is our main focus, we also work with methane in waters and other systems.
