Equipment:

1) GEOTOM resistivimeter

Resistivimetric measurements near Lacul Stiucii (Transilvanian Plain), Somesul Mic Valley (Jucu), Siret Valley (Liteni)-the results are published in Catena, Geomorphology (submitted). (Fig. 1,2,3)

2) Picarro L2130i CRDS spectrometer

Precise measurement of δ18O and δD in water. Can be used both in laboratory and fieldwork applications in hidrology, palaeoclimatology, authentication of products – 2 dissertation thesis (PhD students Carmen Badaluta and Viorica Nagavciuc)-the results are about to be published in international journals. (Fig. 4,5,6)
