GLS 255 Environmental Isotopes

3 Credit(s)

The study of isotopes is a growing and powerful tool within the applied fields of environmental, sustainable, and forensic geology. We will focus on using both stable and radioactive isotopes as tracers in these fields, and understand the necessary theoretical framework to interpret data. A focus will be placed on the applied aspect of sample collection, analysis, and interpretation. This course will be project based. Three lecture hours per week.

Prerequisites: One Geological Sciences 100-level laboratory course, or permission of Department Chairperson.
