Dr. Nikolai Pedentchouk from University of East Anglia (UK) gave a short course on Stable Isotopes in Earth Sciences on Tuesday, April 18 and 20, 2017. Lectures were supplemented with practical sessions in our isotope lab. Program included fundamentals of light isotopes and systematics of C, O and H isotopes.

Alice Jarošíková, PhD candidate in our research group, won Best Poster Prize at SEGH 2016 meeting in Brussels. She briefly describes her research at the web site of Society for Environmental Geochemistry and Health (www.segh.net).

Opening of new isotope lab equipped with a Thermo-Scientific Neptune plus MC-ICP-MS and two mass spectrometer for the analysis of stable isotopes (IRMS MAT 253 a Delta V Advantage) took place in February 10, 2016 after several months of preparations. The equipment purchase was funded by EU projects (Operational Programme Prague – Competitiveness, Project No. CZ.2.16/3.1.00/21516 and OP VaVPi project CZ.1.05/4.1.00/16.0347).
