Abstract:
The geology department at the "Vrije Universiteit Brussel" focuses its activities on Earth and environmental sciences using 'isotope geology'; an experimental approach that is original and unique in Flanders. The department' labs host several mass spectrometers for the precise determination of key stable isotopic systems (O, N, C, H, S). Fractionation processes affecting the light isotopes are important in many field aspects of marine and estuaries sciences. They can permit to identify climatic, biological or environmental changes, or physico-chemical modification of the sedimentary systems. The stable isotope signature can also be used as a tracer of various processes in hydrogeology, biogeochemistry or to characterize organic matter in sediments. Besides these major research fields, attention is also devoted to sedimentology, and the use of a variety of elements and/or their isotopic systems as tracers of geological, hydrological and biogeochemical processes and for environmental monitoring.
