Dr. Viorela Gabriela Ciobanu
Postdoctoral Fellow - Centre for Ice and Climate, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Gabriela's research interest is the reconstruction of past atmospheric conditions by extraction and analysis of air bubbles from polar ice cores. As part of the RICE project, her goal is to reconstruct the stable carbon isotope evolution in atmospheric CO2 (δ13C) archived in the RICE ice core. In addition, she is working on the 17O isotopic abundance in photolysed CO2 samples.
