Application: The 2012 Stable Isotopes Course (Iso-Camp) will be held June 11th through 22nd at the University of Utah. The 2011 Class included 40 students from all over the world. The 17th Stable Isotopes Course will begin accepting applications on December 10th.

Scholarships: This year there are a limited number of scholarships available to graduate students attending this course. If you are interested in applying for a scholarship to help defray your expenses, please click here after successfully submitting your application.

Continental Ecology Training: IsoCamp will become part of a new NSF program on regional to continental training in ecology. This is part of the NSF Macrosystems Biology Program. Click here for details.

Dr. Rafael Oliveira

SIE Class of 2002
University of Campinas

Rafael continues his exciting ecophysiological research in Brazil with a recent PNAS study of Philcoxia, showing that this carnivorous plant traps nematodes as a nitrogen source with its subterranean leaves. Plants go to extremes to survive low nutrient habitats and stable isotopes help unravel these survival mysteries.
