EARTHSC 4CC3 - Stable Isotopes in Earth and Environmental Systems

3 unit(s)

Stable isotopes are widely used in modern earth and environmental sciences because of their unique chemical properties that enable us to trace past and current environmental processes. This course will discuss the basic principles of stable isotope geochemistry and their applications to paleo and modern climate and environmental reconstruction.
