Staff Profile

Role at ANSTO


Carol joined ANSTO in 2002 and has specialised in using the stable-isotopes ((1H2H16O and 1H218O) and radio-isotopes (1H3H16O) of water, to improve our understanding of global and regional processes that occur in the atmosphere and at the land surface.

 

Carol has extensive experience in tritium analysis, CNS analysis, trace metal analysis by AAS and ICP-MS and Stable Water Isotope analysis by FTIR spectrometry. Carol's research is currently focussed on understanding the atmosphere-soil-karst system using stable isotopes and trace element chemistry, for the palaeoenvironmental interpretation of speleothems.
