Tunable infrared laser direct absorption spectrometer (TILDAS)

• Subject Area: Atmospheric Science, Oceanography and Climate Research
• Term: Funded in 2026
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 573737299

With the TILDAS instrument, we aim to enable the temporally and analytically high-resolution analysis of the carbon (12-C, 13-C) and oxygen (16-O, 17-O, 18-O) isotopes of atmospheric CO2. The goal is to gain information about the CO2 cycle, particularly the input of CO2 from combustion processes.
