biogeochemistry lab

The Biogeochemistry Laboratory in the Geosciences department at USU analyzes carbon in a variety of ecosystems and in different forms and materials (e.g. soil, water, air). The laboratory is currently equipped with a Shimadzu Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analyzer (TOC-LCPH), a Li-Cor Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) analyzer (LI-7815), a Horiba Aqualog, a Li-Cor carbon dioxide (pCO2) analyzer (LI-7815), a SonTek acoustic doppler system (RS5 system with Hydroboard II Micro), a Lindberg/Blue M Muffle Furnace, a HarvestRight Scientific Pro freeze drier, and multiple Eureka sondes (Manta+35) with sensors for temperature, conductivity, pH, optical dissolved oxygen, turbidity, chlorophyll-a, and CDOM/fDOM. Contact lab PI, Dr. Derrick Vaughn, for more information.
