Sneaky sulfur: Photochemical processes at Venus might skew DAVINCI data

Planetary Science Institute Senior Scientist James Lyons studies isotopes – atoms of the same name and chemical properties but with variations in mass – from Earth, Mars, the Sun, the Solar nebula and protoplanetary disks. You could call him an “isotope chaser.” Now, he’s focused his attention on Venus. Specifically, the four isotopes of sulfur in the atmosphere. Lyons is the sole author on a paper published in the journal Atmosphere which presents a model prediction that the sulfur isotopes in.
