[Oikos-listan] PhD course - stable isotope for ecologists

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)

 

Last date for application 2017-03-20. For application and more information, contact:
