IsoEcol 2016 (The 10th International Conference on the Applications of Stable Isotopes to Ecological Studies) has ended

IsoEcol 2016 was held at Ito Hall on Hongo Campus of The University of Tokyo from April 3 to 8, 2016. About 160 participants gathered to discuss isotope ecology from all over the world. A range of lively discussions were held between experts in ecology and biogeochemistry.

In addition, a workshop entitled “Technical Issues Integrating Advanced Isotope Analyses into Ecological Studies” was held as a satellite workshop from April 9 to 10. Here we exchanged information on state-of-the-art ecosystem analysis methods using compound-specific isotope analysis of amino acids and radiocarbon.
