Natural ecosystems have long been the focus of flux research, however characterizing the complexities of the urban environment is also critical to understanding global cycles. Wade McGillis from Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory has deployed the Picarro flux instrument (G2311-f) on the largest greenroof, the main post office building in Manhattan.
Application Notes
A rapid screening method that very effectively discriminates cheeses made in different locations is shown. The method is useful for ingredient authentication for fraud detection.
Induction Module-Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy is used to demonstrate how cheese retains its local environmental stable isotopic signature of water. This should allow differentiation of products made in different locales and is an ideal approach for food/ingredient fraud detection.
