Δ*IsoLab is the shared facility of professors Eric Steig, Roger Buick, Becky Alexander and Kate Huntington, managed by Andrew Schauer. Together, we use light stable isotopes to study the geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and cryosphere.

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

About our logo: 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".)
