Δ*IsoLab is a shared facility steered by Becky Alexander, Roger Buick, Kate Huntington, and Eric Steig, and managed by Andrew Schauer. Together with our collaborators, we use light stable isotopes to study the geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and cryosphere, to name a few.

Support for Δ*IsoLab is almost exclusively from research grants (NSF, NASA).

The Δ and * in our logo represent the things we love (mountains and snow), the things we study (glaciology, astrobiology, geology, and atmospheric chemistry) and the tools we use to study them -- isotopes, conventionally expressed in "delta" notation, where the asterisk can represent any of various numbers (e.g., Δ¹⁷O, δ¹³C).

By the way, it's "IsoLab", not "The IsoLab".
