Stable isotope science underpins many disciplines of research, from forensic identification of sources of counterfeit money through to understanding the formation of gold and other mineral deposits. Stable isotope science also provides insights that will improve management of water and land resources, including the impacts of utilisation of groundwater, reducing gaseous emissions from land-use change and knowledge of food webs in marine systems. While a handful of laboratories utilise IRMS around Australia, equipment is fully utilised, outdated and limiting progress. A new IRMS will transform capabilities in WA and enhance projects in terrestrial and marine ecology, ecosystem science and geochemistry of mineral deposits.

稳定同位素科学是许多研究学科的基础，从假币来源的法医鉴定到了解黄金和其他矿藏的形成。稳定同位素科学还提供了将改善水和土地资源管理的见解，包括地下水利用的影响，减少土地使用变化的气体排放和海洋系统食物网的知识。虽然澳大利亚有少数实验室使用IRMS，但设备已充分利用，过时且限制了进展。 一个新的综合资源管理系统将改变西澳大利亚州的能力，并加强陆地和海洋生态学、生态系统科学和矿床地球化学方面的项目。
