At this moment not much information is present yet. The first part of the site that will be developed is an overview of the published literature on the geochemistry of the stable isotopes of chlorine and bromine. This is a small relatively specialised field of geochemical studies, at present applied in perhaps about ten laboratories in the world
Since 1984 a relatively limited number of studies on chlorine and
bromine stable isotopes have been publised. Applications are both on
organic and inorganic compounds. Although there is still some dispute
on the average values of Cl isotope compositions of the major
reservoirs on Earth, one of the biggest reservoirs has a more or less
constant value of zero (the oceans), while another one (the evaporites)
has only very little (up to 1 per mil) variation. For this reason most
variations found in natural
samples reflect processes that have taken place in this specific
environment, and as such these isotopes are usable to
study processes that take place within these reservoirs.
This website also hosts a summary of my personal scientific papers
and most of the conference abstracts and proceedings for which I was
one of the coauthors.
