Keeling (CO2) Curve Marks 50th Anniversary

Researchers at Mauna Loa, Hawaii celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Keeling (CO2) curve, the longest continuous recording of atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Nature Magazine reports that the "'Keeling curve' of CO2 concentrations ranks very high indeed among the achievements of twentieth-century science." The LI-7000 CO2/H2O Gas Analyzer is used at Mauna Loa and at many other research sites around the world. More...

Congratulations... The U.S. Army Research Laboratory in White Sands, New Mexico was selected by random drawing to receive an LI-7500 Open Path CO2/H2O Gas Analyzer. The promotion was in conjunction with the LI-COR exhibit at the American Geophysical Union meeting held December 2007 in San Francisco. Entries were received at the meeting and on the LI-COR Web site.
