Announcement of 2012 GCOE Laboratory Short Course on Stable Isotopes

The 5th "IFES-GCOE laboratory short course on Stable Isotopes" will be held from November 1st to November 8th in 2012. This short course will be also held as Hokkaido University Arctic Science Field & Laboratory Short course series.

Participants will conduct a mini-research project which includes sample preparation and isotope measurements, data analyses, and presentation of the results on the last day of the course. During the short course, participants will also take classes on basic theory, technic and application of stable isotope 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.
This year, we will have one or two group(s) of participants in English and invite 4- 5 students from abroad.
