Stable Isotope Biogeochemistry group

The Stable Isotope Biogeocheistry group is a multidisciplinary group composed of geologists, chemists, biologists, environmentalists and archaeologists, which focuses on the study of the isotopic traceability of essentials elements in terrestrial biogeochemical cycles.Our research, allows assessing accurately the interaction between geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere over the Earth's history. The group was a pioneer in our country in the development of analysis of isotopic ratios (13C/12C, 18O/16O, 15N/14N, 34S/32S and D / H) in minerals, organic matter, water and gas, applied to the study of paleoclimatology, diagenetic and hydrothermal processes, origin of mineral deposits, storage of CO2 and radioactive waste, origin and evolution of pollutants, food traceability, oceanography, Global Change, etc. The group is currently focused on the study of the effects of Global Change on the balances of C, O and N on Earth.
