Application: Clumped Isotopes of Methane
Origin of methane
• in natural gas reservoirs might be generated by the decomposition of
organic matter, by bacteria or by chemical reactions in rocks.
• in air comes from natural gas wells, from landfills, from cows and
from thawing permafrost in the Arctic.
• on Mars - might be geological or biological.
Questions addressed:
• how fast is permafrost melting ?
• how long will natural gas deposits last ?
• is there life on other planets ?
Origin of methane must be known
Isotopes should help !

The possibility to discriminate different geographical origins within
small ranges of variation of the 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios, requires
high precision of the measurement.
This can be reached by Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry
(TIMS), Multi Collector Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass
Spectrometry (MC-ICPMS) and occasionally by High resolution
ICP-MS (HR-ICP-MS).

Strontium in the soil is linked to the local bedrock
As the 87Sr/86Sr ratio of soluble or bio-available strontium is
passed from soil to plants through the food chain,
The strontium isotope ratio of the hard tissues reflects the geology
of the place of residence during the tissues formation.
Therefore, variations of the 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios can enable to
discriminate different geographical origins.

Sr and Pb tracing the origin of grains
Element 2
HR-ICP-MS
In this example, the countries for the production of
various grains were determined using the isotope
ratios of Sr and Pb.
Plots of the 87Sr/86Sr versus Sr concentration and
two-dimensional plots of the Pb isotope ratios
showed particular distributions for each country.
By combining the isotopic data with other factors
such as multi-element concentration, a distinct
method with high reliability could be developed.
