Courses

Use of the facilities at the stable isotope core laboratory is encouraged for graduate and undergraduate students at Washington State University. One of the priorities of establishing this facility was to provide hands-on training for graduate and undergraduate students so that instruments are not viewed as a black box. All internal WSU clients will receive discounted rates for services.

Specific courses in or related to stable isotope theory, technology, and methods available to graduate and undergraduate students are listed below.

Local Courses
