RSMAS CFC Laboratory

RSMAS CFC Laboratory

The RSMAS CFC Laboratory, as part of the Division of Marine and Atmospheric Chemistry, carries out measurements of minute concentrations of the chlorofluorocarbons CFC-11 and CFC-12 in ocean water for use as a water mass tracer.

The CFC laboratory is under the direction of Dr. Rana Fine. Please follow the links for Dr. Fine's Awards and Honors, Activities, and Curriculum Vitae.
