Exploration of various applications of different isotope systems in geological, oceanographic, and environmental studies at low temperature. The use of isotopes as tracers for weathering rate, biogeochemical cycling, food-web structure, ecology, paleo-chemistry, provenance, circulation, archeology, anthropogenic and extraterrestrial inputs and more. Participants experience giving presentations, reviewing a paper, and submitting a proposal as part of the class.
