Personnel

Erik Hobbie, Laboratory Director

I am a research associate professor at the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space and am also affiliated with the Department of Natural Resources. I use stable isotopes at natural abundance levels to understand carbon and nitrogen cycling in forest ecosystems, with a particular focus on the interactions between mycorrhizal fungi and their host plants. My webpage includes more information about my research and teaching interests.

Andrew Ouimette, Laboratory Manager

Andrew Ouimette received his M.S. Degree in Geology and has been with the UNH Isotope Laboratory since 2004. Prior to his position at UNH, Andy worked at the USGS laboratory in California.

About the Lab

The UNH isotope facility was funded by the National Science Foundation's Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program. Installation was completed in August 2006. Additional funds were provided by the University of New Hampshire through the Office of the Vice President for Research and Public Service, the College of Life Sciences and Agriculture, the Climate Change Research Center, the Complex Systems Research Center, the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space, and the Marine Program.
