Announcement of 2011 GCOE Laboratory Short Course on Stable Isotopes

The 4th "GCOE laboratory short course on Stable Isotopes" under the career-up program of the Global COE “Establishment of Center for Integrated Field Environmental Science” at Hokkaido University, Laboratory Short Course in Stable Isotopes will be held from October 31st to November 4th in 2011.
Participants will conduct a confined research project which includes measurements of isotope ratios of samples, analyses of those data, and presentation of the results on the last day of the course. During the short course, participants will also take classes on basic theory, technology and method of stable isotope measurements, and on applications in various research fields, and also participate in seminars. We expect those experiences will give great opportunities for students and post doctoral researchers, who have conducted research in a variety of fields, through having fruitful discussions and exchanging ideas with those who work in different fields. We welcome students and post doctoral researchers not only from Graduate School of Environmental Science and Division of Environmental Resources, Graduate School of Agriculture, but also from other graduate schools or faculties and institutes in Hokkaido University, and also from other universities all over Japan.
This year, we will have one or two group(s) of participants in English and invite 2- 3 students from abroad.

【Intended for】
Doctor’s course students
Master’s course students
Undergraduate students (3rd or 4th grade)
Post-Doctoral Researchers

For all participants, completion certificate of Laboratory Short Course in Stable Isotopes will be issued.

【Intended numbers and category】
1)4 Confined Project Coordinators:Students or post-doctoral researchers who are using
stable isotopes in their own research. Coordination of confined Research Project and assistance of the course are expected.

2)12 Trainees:Knowledge or experiences on stable isotopes are not necessary. Trainees will
be separated into 4 groups, and each group will conduct Confined Research Project with
the coordinator. Trainees will experience preparation and analyses of samples, and give
presentation for completion of the project.
