EAS 4561 - Isotope Geochemistry

(PBS-AS, PHS-AS)

Spring. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

Co-meets with EAS 6560.

N. Fernandez.

Fundamentals of radiogenic, cosmogenic, and stable isotope geochemistry and application to a variety of Earth system problems including evolution of the crust and mantle, earth surface processes, climate, biosphere, global water, and elemental cycling. We will explore recent advances in the development of isotope tracers and instrument capabilities, evaluate model frameworks, and learn how to interpret isotope signatures in a variety of modern and paleo contexts.
