Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Anglais)	Climate change is a major threat facing society. The atmospheric burden of greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), is continuously increasing due to anthropogenic emissions, thereby causing global warming. Therefore, a reduction of emissions is urgently needed. Measurements of isotopic ratios offer the possibility of discriminating anthropogenic from natural contributions of GHGs. However, harmonised and standardised field calibration and measurement methods are required to support measurements networks such as Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The aim of the project is to develop a metrological infrastructure (reference materials, guidelines, methods) that is directly linked to monitoring networks such as ICOS to harmonised field isotope ratio measurements.
