Course on stable isotope hydrology, Vienna, Austria
2 May 2010 - 2 May 2010
Austria
A course on stable isotope hydrology, with a special focus on hydrogen and oxygen stable isotopes, will be held on 2 May 2010 in Vienna, Austria.
This short course will introduce participants to important fundamentals regarding stable isotopes and discuss common analytical approaches to both isotope ratio mass spectroscopy and laser absorption based spectroscopy. In addition, class exercises and case study examples will be used to help participants learn how to use isotopes to answer important hydrological questions and interpret isotope data.
Stable isotopes are remarkably useful tools for a wide variety of hydrological studies. They can provide major insights related to key processes such as the identification of groundwater recharge areas, surface water/groundwater interactions, mixing of groundwaters, evaporation from soil and surface waters, origins of precipitation and more. Recent advances in laser absorption analyzers are rapidly making hydrogen and oxygen stable isotope analyses much more available for hydrological studies. However, researchers must still have an understanding of isotope systematics and of the ways that isotope data can be used to interpret what is happening in the field.For further information, please click:
