Urban Environmental Biogeochemistry Laboratory

The Urban Environmental Biogeochemistry Laboratory (UEBL) is a collaborative effort between the departments of biology, chemistry, and physics, astronomy, and geosciences, and supports student and faculty research in these departments as well as the Environmental Science Program. The laboratory also welcomes outside users on either a collaborative or a fee basis.

Major laboratory instrumentation includes:

  • a triple-quadrupole inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS)
  • an inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES)
  • a time-of-flight inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-TOFMS)
  • a wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (WDXRF)
  • a bench-top powder X-ray diffractometer (XRD)
  • a discrete analyzer for nutrient and chemical analyses
  • a liquid/solid carbon-nitrogen analyzer
  • a solid CNS elemental analyzer
  • a dual-system ion chromatograph (IC)


In addition to their use for research projects, these instruments are an important part of the curriculum in both undergraduate and graduate courses.
