GOALS

Simultaneously observe changes in the concentration and isotopic composition of atmospheric oxygen (δ18O) in a controlled environment and quantify the isotopic fractionation of oxygen associated with biological processes in order to reconstruct past changes in biosphere productivity from gas samples measured in ice cores.

Continuously and simultaneously measure the concentration and isotopic composition of oxygen in the air; perform measurements in a closed system of a small ecosystem (soil and plant).
