Stable isotopes as a tool for ecologists (5 ects), May 2017 in Stockholm
Course for PhD students
This is a course for those who want to receive an overview and a more profound knowledge of how stable isotopes can be used in modern ecological research. The focus is primarily on research questions and practical applications, but the underlying theoretical aspects are also covered. Examples of the content are: geological distribution and fractionation, ecological applications, archaeological and paleozoological applications. We will also present several of the software used to analyse and model stable isotopes. An individual practical project is also included. The course on Stable isotopes as a tool for ecologists runs in connection with the course Molecular ecology (15hp). Interested PhD students are welcome to participate.
Time: weeks 19-21 (lectures + project)
