This project aims to develop a national facility for pyrogenic carbon analysis. Pyrogenic carbon is a poorly constrained, slow-cycling terrestrial carbon pool with significant carbon sequestration potential. The project expects to expand the newly developed hydrogen pyrolysis analytical capability to provide high throughput, robust measurement of the abundance and isotope composition of pyrogenic carbon in soils and sediments. This will provide significant benefit, such as the ability to make significant advances in areas as diverse as geochronology, archaeology, palaeoecology, soil science geomorphology and carbon cycle/sequestration science.

本项目旨在建立一个国家热原碳分析设备。热原碳是一种约束较差、循环缓慢的陆地碳库，具有显著的碳固存潜力。该项目预计将扩大新开发的氢热解分析能力，为土壤和沉积物中热原碳的丰度和同位素组成提供高通量、可靠的测量。这将带来重大的好处，例如能够在地质年代学、考古学、古生态学、土壤科学、地貌学和碳循环/封存科学等不同领域取得重大进展。
