James Rolfe

As the Senior Technical Officer and Laboratory Manager at the Godwin Laboratory for Palaeoclimate Research, I oversee the day-to-day operations with over 30 years of experience in stable isotope mass spectrometry and sample preparation systems. Our laboratory, situated within the University of Cambridge, primarily supports research activities within the Department of Earth Sciences and other university departments.

Working alongside a dedicated team of skilled technical staff, we ensure the smooth functioning and maintenance of our analytical equipment. Our focus is on preparing stable isotope samples for analysis, aiding researchers and students in achieving high-quality results. We offer guidance on best practices, from sample collection to final analysis, to ensure precision and reliability in our isotope measurements.
