ISOECOL 2018 - ABSTRACTS & REGISTRATION
Scientific themes:
We are interested in receiving abstracts for oral and poster presentations from researchers working across the diverse breadth of isotope ecology. We have identified the following broad themes:
- Archaeology and Palaeoecology
- Biogeochemical cycles and global change
- Isotope ecology from individuals to communities
- Isoscapes and movement ecology
- Microbial isotope ecology
- New methods and models in isotope ecology
- Physiology and biochemistry
- Plant isotope ecology
- Soil isotope ecology
- Celebrating the contribution of Brian Fry to Isotope Ecology*.
*This special session will involve presentations highlighting how Brian Fry (who has recently retired) has influenced and driven the field of isotope ecology in recognition of his distinguished career.
NB: The official language of the meeting is English.
Traditionally, oral sessions at IsoEcol are single-session (run over four days). This is an excellent way to facilitate cross-disciplinary discussion, but it does mean that we will have limited space for oral presentations, and competition for oral slots will likely be considerable. We will also offer poster presentations, and authors can present multiple posters, or give both an oral and poster(s) presentation (if abstracts are accepted).
Abstracts (in English, 350 words max.) can be submitted here through our partner organisation 4ID, where you can also register and pay for the conference. The link will take you to their website, where you will be asked to provide your details (Name, affiliation, contact email and telephone, as well as dietary preferences).
Important statement regarding abstracts: We will use a double-blind reviewing system to assess and score abstracts. Briefly, this means that all identifying information (authors’ names & affiliation) will be stripped from abstracts prior to review. This is done to ensure that abstracts will be assessed solely on scientific interest, not on reputation/name/nationality/institution, so it is in your interest to take time to craft an informative and captivating abstract. The abstract submission system will remove information on the authors and their affiliations, but please do not include group or laboratory names in the abstract. Each abstract will be assessed by multiple reviewers both from the organising committee and from an international team of experts, using a common assessment scheme. We will contact you on 7 May 2018 with the decision on your abstract (unfortunately extended from 30 April).
