Samples will be shipped from the Marine Productivity Laboratory, Freshwater Institute Winnipeg, to the Université du Québec à Montreal (UQAM). All analyses will be completed at the GEOTOP laboratory at UQAM under the direction of Dr. Jean-François Hélie. The GEOTOP laboratory will sub-sample necessary amount for injection on IRMS, and return the remainder of the samples to the Marine Productivity Laboratory in Winnipeg (shipping cost will be covered by the Marine Productivity Laboratory).
