I am interested in measuring organic carbon and nitrogen isotopes on a nanomolar quantity level. My work will apply this method to precious materials like fossil eggshells and fossil teeth in order to reconstruct paleoclimate and paleoenvironment in the terrestrial system. I graduated from Nanjing University as a geology B.S. with research…

Mason Scher is a graduate student interested in exploring several isotope systems (N, C, Mg, Ca, K) in efforts to understand the ecology and environmental conditions of the geologic past.
