| Course description |
| Participants will learn about stable isotope and radioactive isotope techniques effective for investigating biogeochemical cycling on the Earth's surface layer and aim to make use of those approaches in their own research. Furthermore, participants will conduct discussions through the reading & presentation of the isotopes papers related to their research. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Students will understand that stable isotopes and radioactive isotopes are being effectively utilized in natural science, especially biogeochemical cycling research, and to be able to apply them to participants’ current and future research. Students are able to find relevant papers in English, read it, and give a lecture the contents to people in an easy-to-understand manner. Furthermore, it is required to make comments on other participants’research and presentation. |
| Course schedule |
|
1. Introduction of research by lecturer and class participants using ppt slide. 2. Classes on the basis of stable isotope and radioactive isotope 3. Class on isotope ecology 4. Class on isotope hydrology 5. Class on isotope biogeochemistry 6. Papers presentation and discussion on isotope studies related to studies of class participants (Depending on the number of participants and their study topics, 1 to 3 lectures will be conducted for each of the above contents) |
| Prerequisites |
