@HydroTracers Nice collaboration of Isotopes in the Tropics and UNACostaRica with SINAC and @HydroTracers We keep on tracking the hydrological pulse of the Central American Páramo (i.e. Chirripó National Park)

Dry season sampling at our páramo site in Chirripó. One-day hike of 45 km (28 miles), +2850 m, 9.5 hrs. Lake, spring, and stream water samples collected.

I took my first steps as scientist in the atmospheric chemistry community. Thus I am very happy to share our new paper on nitrate isotopes (δ15N, δ18O) in precipitation tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… IAEA - International Atomic Energy Agency ⚛️ Isotopes in the Tropics UNACostaRica

On March 20 2013 we collected our first precip sample at UNACostaRica. We are officially celebrating 10 yrs of continuous sampling (1178 samples and counting). Take a look at our 'lab' at that time! We were ready to break on through to the isotope side!

Back in 2013, we started sampling precipitation using the old school methods . So much fun we had using mineral oil for preventing evaporation! 😂

On my way to El Salvador to provide an IAEA national training course on radon measurements in surface water and groundwater in the field and lab. Looking forward to continuing our collaboration with IAEA - International Atomic Energy Agency ⚛️ and my colleagues at MARN El Salvador on isotope hydrology.

It is always exciting to break in new instruments. IAEA - International Atomic Energy Agency ⚛️ donated to MARN El Salvador two new RAD7 detectors for 222Rn analysis in SW and GW (including a flow cell for continuous analysis in the field). Can't wait to test them in the field this week!

I could not make to #EGU23 in person but I will virtually be presenting a work on Costa Rican and Andean Paramo ecohydrology modeling. Check it out next Wednesday 26 during PICO session HS7.9 (16:30-18:00 CET).

Glad to see published this review on Páramo water resources research led by Giovanny Mosquera. I am happy to have contributed on this much-needed paper UNACostaRica Isotopes in the Tropics sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Desde Isotopes in the Tropics and UNACostaRica aportamos a la discusión sobre la gestión del recurso hídrico en Costa Rica. Necesitamos cambios urgentes para el bien de tod@s. #agua #infraestructura #ENSO #conflictos

A pending task is now completed! We have set up our 13C #Picarro analyzer with a TOC Aurora analyzer. This new capability will help us to continue exploring the #isotopic composition of DOC and DIC sources in our study sites. Isotopes in the Tropics UNACostaRica
