Research Overview
Professor Eiler's focuses on isotope geochemistry of light elements (H, C, N, O and S), as applied to: the origin and evolution of igneous rocks; the origin and evolution of meteorites; planetary atmospheres; atmospheric and environmental chemistry; paleoclimate; and paleontology.
Research Summary:
isotope geochemistry of light elements (H, C, N, O and S), the origin and evolution of igneous rocks, the origin and evolution of meteorites, planetary atmospheres, atmospheric and environmental chemistry, paleoclimate, paleontology
