ENVIRONMENTAL ISOTOPES      3 Credit Hours

Catalog description

(Slashed with ESCI 43044 and ESCI 53044 ) Stable isotope geochemistry can be used as a tool to explore a wide array of processes across the Earth and environmental sciences. The course begins by focusing on traditional applications of oxygen, hydrogen, carbon and sulfur stable isotopes to understand the water and carbon cycles. Subsequently, students are introduced to emerging stable isotope techniques and non-traditional stable isotope systems. Lectures are supplemented with exercises that incorporate real data and discussions based on recent scientific literature.
