IsoNose is a European Initial Training Network (ITN) funded under the EU FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network scheme. The IsoNose consortium consists of eight international partners and five associated partners in five countries (Germany, France, Ireland, UK, USA).
12 Early Stage Researchers (ESR, PhD-students) and 2 Experienced Researchers (ER, postdocs) perform competitive research on innovative stable isotope methods in the environment. Our fellows benefit from a highly attractive training program in industrial applications and skills such as presentations, management, outreach. On completion of their fellowship they are expected to be amongst the future leaders in this field.
Soil, water, and precious metals are major natural resources present at the Earth´s terrestrial surface. Their availability is regulated by massive biogeochemical transformations that take place as the chemical elements move from rock to soil, into plants, through ground water, into river water, and into ore deposits. These precious resources are currently being exploited to an extent that is unprecedented in the history of our planet. Our young researchers will be trained in the use of novel mass-spectrome
