Jessica,

Listed below are a couple of references that deal with C & H isotopes in
landfills, including 14C and 3H.  If you do not already have these, let
me know and I will send you copies.

Dear list members,

I am working on research involving stable isotope applications to
municipal solid waste landfill leachate, specifically looking at
d13C-DIC, d15N-NO3- and -NH4+, d34S-SO42-, d18O, and dD.

I would very much like to make contact with other researchers involved
in similar work, to exchange ideas, tips for methods (especially d15N
analyses!), etc.  Particularly if anyone knows of landfill isotope
researchers in New Zealand, that would be great.

Many thanks, and kind regards,

Jessica
