Location
The course will be offered in a hybrid format, with some instructors delivering lectures in person (Trent University, Peterborough), and others online. This flexible approach allows participants to attend either in person or remotely via Zoom. We will send the Zoom participation link to all registered participants. If you have not received the link, please check your junk mail folder first. Should you still not find it, feel free to contact Raquel at .
Course Objective
This course will introduce participants to the principles of stable isotope geochemistry applied to catchment hydrology and more broadly, to environmental research in the hydrosphere and biosphere. The course will focus on stable isotope measurement and tracing techniques and the linkage of these tracers in and among hydrologic and biological components of earth system at the catchment scale. We will specifically consider the application of stable isotope investigative tools to a variety of hydrological situations, ranging from water cycle dynamics, runoff processes, bio- and geochemical processes, nutrients and contamination and isotope ecohydrology.
Important Information
