Summary / ZusammenfassungResearch Platform 2 provides analytical infrastructure for the use of isotopes, trace elements, andtrace compounds, which are the basis for marine research in themes A and B. <strong>The</strong> participantsinvolved in the platform lead a wide range of analytical facilities which can provide nearly any kindof isotope and tracer data required in modern marine research (Section 3.1). <strong>The</strong> quality of thedata created is internationally recognized, and new developments generated by these outstandinglaboratories have contributed to positioning Kiel at the forefront of marine research, a factor whichwill help to attract world-class junior researchers to take up positions within the Cluster. <strong>The</strong>analytical facilities of the platform will establish a virtual Tracer Analysis Center (TAC), which willprovide analytical support to the research groups within the Cluster. According to the needs of thefuture JRG's a number of innovative investments will become necessary within platform 2 and willserve to maintain and further strengthen analytical expertise in Kiel. Investments in newtechnologies, such as isotope ratio mass-spectrometry of organic compounds and laser ablation insitu microanalysis, will focus on the improvement of analytical resolution and capability. <strong>The</strong>seinvestments will ideally complement and extend existing analytical capabilities.97
