Stable Isotopes in Environmental Biology

Analyses of stable isotopes at the root-soil-microbe interface

Richland, WA, Vereinigte Staaten: 23./24.01.2024
Workshop/Sonstige Veranstaltung |

You are invited to participate in a two-day stable isotope workshop featuring hands-on training, presentations, and more.

The workshop takes place Jan. 23-24, 2024, at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. In-person attendance is limited to the first 20 registrants. Sessions will also be available online.

There is no cost to attend.

Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers can receive up to $1,700 in travel assistance to attend this workshop. The deadline to apply for travel assistance is December 6, 2023. For more information, review the travel assistance portion of the event website.

The workshop will focus on stable isotope theory and application related to environmental fluxes at the root-soil-microbe interface. Presenters will demonstrate how using different spatial scales and stable isotope techniques contributes to advancing the fundamental understanding of environmental and plant science, Earth and climate science, forensics, and biogeochemistry, as well as promoting cross-disciplinary partnerships.

Attendees will learn about:

  • Analytical instrumentation
  • Sample preparation techniques (including stable isotope probing)
  • State-of-the-art methodologies for stable isotope measurements

These capabilities are available through the EMSL User Program.
