Stable isotopes are a valuable and widely used tool in modern ecology. However, the vast majority of stable\u00a0isotope based studies are conducted by independent research groups working in relative isolation and the\u00a0resulting data are not available to researchers outside of these groups. A stable isotope data-repository\u00a0would provide an opportunity for isotope ecologists to archive their data (before or after publication) and\u00a0make it available to colleagues across the globe, facilitating novel research from previously inaccessible\u00a0data.<\/p>\n
This workshop will bring together a team of collaborators and conference delegates interested in designing a\u00a0data repository for stable isotopes. We aim to use this opportunity to 1) address the needs of the isotope\u00a0community and identify how a data repository can meet these; 2) to build an ontology for stable isotope\u00a0data and 3) propose quality control methods integral to such a resource.<\/p>\n

Cost:<\/strong>\u00a03500 yen\u00a0(on-site)<\/p>\n
Invitations:<\/strong> Strictly limited to 20 pp<\/span>; registration by email on first-come basis grzegorz.skrzypek@uwa.edu.au<\/a><\/p>\n
Convener:<\/strong>\u00a0Greg Skrzypek\u00a0(The University of Western Australia: http:\/\/www.uwa.edu.au\/people\/grzegorz.skrzypek<\/a><\/p>\n
\nDetails:<\/strong><\/p>\n
The aim of this intro level short workshop is to familiarise yourself with some of the ways stable hydrogen and oxygen isotope compositions are used to estimate evaporative losses and distinguish water sources in the environment. You will be introduced to the revised “Craig-Gordon” model (C-G) and Hydrocalculator software [http:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0022169415001134<\/a>]. The C-G model is now a widely applied approach for estimating evaporative losses from water bodies, and can be combined with an isotope-mixing models, for estimating the contribution of water from different water sources. In our case studies, we will also show you how to use Local Meteoric Water Line (LMWL) and Local Evaporation Line (LEL) to distinguish groundwater dependent aquatic ecosystems from those not directly supported by groundwater inflow. We will discuss calculations principles, different analytical procedures and major sources of calculation uncertainties (1 hr), then we will investigate two case study during hands-on calculation exercises (1 hr).<\/p>\n
