Stable Isotope Theory and Methods (Biol 540)

Fall 2015

Lecture: Tu, Th 10:35

Lab: TU 1:35 – 4:00

Course Description: Students will learn to design, interpret, and critically evaluate the use of stable isotopic tools in biological studies. Specifically, we will focus on efficiently learning terminology and notation, sources of variation, mathematical models of isotope composition, and key applications of stable isotope techniques. The laboratory section of the course will provide hands-on experience with stable isotope mass spectrometers to train you to run your own samples.
