Environmental diagnosis with isotopologue tracers
Description: All molecules are composed of a large number of isotope-substituted molecular species (collectively referred to as isotopologues in this subject), but most of them have not yet been accurately measured. We developed these measurement methods and promptly applied the developed measurement methods to make them an international standard global environmental diagnostic method.By measuring the natural abundance of isotopologues of important environmental substances, and analyzing the important processes among the three processes of geology, organisms, and humans, the material cycle changes in the earth's surface environment determined by each process and its interaction. Thus, we created a method for environmental diagnosing at the molecular level.
