GEO 7474 - Isotopes in Large-Scale Environmental Research

This course trains students in theory and practice of techniques for integrating environmental isotopes data at large spatial scales and applying them to environmental, ecological, climate change, and hydrological research. These tools are used to identify sources, trace fluxes and movement of materials, and characterize and integrate information on environmental processes occurring over large spatial scales. Fundamentals of geospatial data, data management and Geographic Information Systems are introduced, and an interdisciplinary suite of cutting-edge research applications are presented. Offered each summer where it is open only through DCE as a contract course. Two weeks intensive.
