Thanks to our sponsors #SIMSUG2024

A BIG thank-you to our SUERC #stableisotope lab technicians Andrew and Julie, who have retrofitted a secondhand Elementar IRMS Microcube to our old Thermo Fisher Delta XP, with new fittings and 3D-printed assembly. Great to see a 21-year old mass spec being put to good use.

📢3.5 year PDRA opportunity with Dr Zoë Thomas and me at University of Southampton📢 Involves developing new proxies of wind strength and temperature from South Atlantic peat deposits during global climate tipping points! Deadline 17.07.24. Please share widely! tinyurl.com/47bxyj4z

Job alert: #PhD position in environmental biogeochemistry: Exploring the environmental fate of emerging metal(loid)s in lake ecosystems of mine-impacted regions in Eastern Canada, Geological Survey of Canada, Quebec. Apply by 31 Oct, or position open until filled. ➡️

On 10th -11th September, Elementar IRMS are hosting a #usermeeting for anyone working with #stableisotopes. The meeting will take place in Manchester, UK, providing a forum for #IRMS users to discuss their work and share their experiences. Find out more: utm.guru/ugU8z

⚠️To all geosciences departments running fieldtrips to the Eifel volcanic field❗️Did you or one of your students lose a fieldbook (black Moleskin) at the outcrop „Schwarze Wand“, last entry from July 13th? Let me know and I can connect you with the finder! Please share!

GGRiP 2025 – SAVE THE DATE! We are excited to announce that the next Geochemistry Group Research in Progress (GGRiP) meeting will take place in Birmingham on the 8-10th of April 2025. More to follow soon! #geochemistry #conference #research

New paper alert! 📢 Reconstructing palaeoenvironments in the #Cretaceous 🇺🇸 Western Interior Seaway using triple oxygen and clumped isotopes. Tricky methods, but cool results for 'seeing through' diagenesis to get at original marine conditions. #GSAPubs doi.org/10.1130/B37543…

A big thank-you to Rachel Petts McrMuseum Collection and all Manchester Museum for letting us sample the #pangolin collection for #stableisotope analysis. Also looking forward to the Elementar IRMS user meeting here tomorrow!

We’re all set up for our IRMS User Meeting at Manchester Museum. Looking forward to a packed day of discussion on all things stable isotopes!

Very happy to be in Manchester to represent SCENE and UofG SBOHVM at the Elementar IRMS user group meeting Talking about the power of isotopes to understand what fish and ancient peoples do/did. Thanks to HarrodLab and Francisca Santana S for sharing data/hard work.

More excellent talks this afternoon from Fotis Sgouridis: Using the isoFLOW GHG to detect 15N2 field denitrification fluxes Ben Jackson: Plant Soil Systems at the University of Edinburgh Calum Preece: LyticOS Software Suite Workshop Thanks to everyone who has contributed!

Today, Andi Smith from the British Geological Survey kicked off day two of our IRMS User Meeting. He talked us through how they use their (eight!) Elementar IRMS systems and peripherals, highlighting the modifications and novel techniques they use.

That’s a wrap! Thanks to everyone who attended our IRMS User Meeting in Manchester over the past two days. We really appreciate everyone who offered up their time to talk about their work with stable isotopes.

Fully-funded 4 year PhD to study CO2 release from sedimentary rocks during past warm climates. Work with me, Richard Stockey, Prof Tom Gernon + Benjamin Mills. Due to funding restrictions, UK-based students only. Deadline 17.10.24. Start date flexible. Please RT. tinyurl.com/5xfbb9de
