Measurement of intact methane isotopologues, including ^(13)CH_3D

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: Methane (CH_4) is both a significant greenhouse gas and \nresource. Its present and past cycling can be studied through \nmeasurements of concentration and/or bulk isotopic ratios (^(13)C/^(12)C, \nD/H, and ^(14)C/^(12)C). Currently, isotope ratios are measured by mass \nspectrometric analysis of H_2 and CO_2 produced from CH_4, or by \nspectroscopy of CH_4. However, the interpretation of bulk isotopic \nvariations of CH_4 are often equivocal, necessitating additional \ntracers.
