Aquatic Environmental Analytical Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses trace elements and isotopes to read the past, present, and future of oceans and lakes.
AboutAbout the lab
Chemistry that reads the global environment, exploring the past and future of the hydrosphere.
The Aquatic Environmental Analytical Chemistry Lab studies trace elements and isotopes to clarify the present, past, and future of aquatic environments such as oceans and lakes.
The lab conducts interdisciplinary research spanning analytical chemistry, geochemistry, marine chemistry, oceanography, limnology, geology, and environmental science.
Key terms
- Trace element
- An element present in only very small amounts in seawater and other media
- Isotope
- Atoms of the same element that differ only in mass (the number of neutrons)
- Hydrothermal fluid
- High-temperature water heated underground that gushes out, for example on the seafloor

ResearchResearch themes
The lab conducts interdisciplinary research focusing on trace elements and isotopes to clarify the present, past, and future of the hydrosphere.
*Illustrative imageChemistry That Reads the Global Environment
Believing that advancing chemistry that reads the global environment is essential for a sustainable world, the lab conducts interdisciplinary research focusing on trace elements and isotopes to clarify the present, past, and future of the hydrosphere.
*Illustrative imageTrace Metals and Isotopes in the Ocean
The lab investigates how readily metals are leached by acid from suspended particles in the Pacific Ocean, east-west differences in nickel, copper, zinc, and cadmium in the subarctic Pacific, and the concentrations and isotope ratios of molybdenum and tungsten in hydrothermal fluids of the Okinawa Trough, among other topics.
