Water Isotopes Found to Leave Fingerprints for Climate Scientists

Researchers study water vapor to learn more about the water cycle and impacts of climate change

University of Colorado meteorologist David Noone and his team are working to understand how water moves around the planet. With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the project team observes and analyzes the stable isotope composition of water vapor and precipitation, primarily at the 300-meter (984-foot) Boulder Atmospheric Observatory tower.
