This course aims to provide advanced knowledge on the use of stable isotopes as tracers in ecological research. More specifically, next to theory on the up-to-date techniques, analysing and implementing biomarker and tracer data in food web modelling will be included in the training. A short introduction to the use of the statistical software package SIAR and SIBER in R is foreseen as well.
The course will be organised by the Marine Biology Section (UGent) with lectures and lab sessions at Campus Sterre (S8). A one-day trip to the University of Liège (lectures and lab demonstrations) is included .
Application deadline: 1 Sep 2017
