How do we collect sediments from below the deep ocean floor? In this video, Claudio Argentino describes the gravity corer and how it works.

 
Natural methane emissions on the seafloor are generally associated with chemosynthetic fauna and a special type of carbonate rock.
 
 

Isotopic composition of a sample is like a fingerprint, telling researchers about the identity of the sample. Matteus explains why the Isotopic Mass Spectrometer is so important to understanding methane in the Arctic.

How do we study fluid beneath the ocean floor? One important tool is seismic data and here we explain how.

The video below shows in detail how Stable Isotope Analysis is used in Geochemistry.

Matteus Lindgren is responsible for everything connected to the Stable Isotope Laboratory at the Department of Geology at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. In this video he explains the basics of what isotopic ratios are and how they can be analyzed and utilized in geoscience.

The video is made within the framework of the project AKMA, Advancing Knowledge on Methane in the Arctic (project number 287869) at UiT, The Arctic University of Norway.
