2007 IBiS Meeting
 |
A workshop IsoPAL-3
Special theme – Isotopes in Biogenic Silica (IBiS) |
|
Hosted by the NERC Isotope Geosciences Laboratory (NIGL), British Geological Survey in association with the Quaternary Research Association (QRA).
Wednesday 18th April 2007
The workshop will comprise a series of short keynote presentations giving examples, or overviews of research using isotopes in biogenic silica.
The keynote presentations will involve isotope applications in terrestrial, marine and aquatic records.
Talks:
- F. Alayne Street-Perrott, Philip Barker & Melanie Leng
