ESS 174: Fundamentals of Stable Isotopes in Ecology and Environmental Science


Units: 4

Focuses on the fundamentals of stable isotope ecology, biochemistry, and geochemistry using both lecture and lab. Isotope systematics for carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur, strontium, and neodymium and how they operate in plants, animals, soils, and microbes during modern and geological timescales will form the framework for the class. Corresponding lab section will teach sample preparation, hypothesis building, and research skills using stable isotopes.
