Paleobotany & Paleoecology
Paleobotany & Paleoecology
The CCU Paleoenvironment lab is focusing on Taiwan vegetation and lake ecology reconstruction using pollen and diatom assemblages in lake sediments. It also focuses on wildfire reconstruction of the island, and studying the human settlement and how they interacted along with vegetation shift.
Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer
Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer
The laboratory is equipped with an EA-IRMS interface for measuring the carbon isotopic composition of different organic fractions in sediments. These include bulk organic matter, black carbon, and diatom-occluded organic matter, enabling high-precision analyses of carbon sources and cycling.
Gamma Ray Spectroscopy
Gamma Ray Spectroscopy
Gamma ray spectroscopy is used in the laboratory to non-destructively measure the concentrations of natural and artificial radionuclides (such as Cs-137, Pb-210, and Ra-226) in sediment samples, enabling sediment dating and analysis of depositional history.
Magnetic Susceptibility Analyser
Magnetic Susceptibility Analyser
The laboratory houses a Magnetic Susceptibility Analyser used to rapidly and non-destructively characterize the magnetic mineral content of sediment samples, providing insights into sediment composition and environmental changes.
