Canadian CF-IRMS Workshop in 2008

This is the first call for papers/posters for the 14th Canadian Continuous Flow Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (CF-IRMS) Workshop. A first draft of a web-site has been set up at: http://cfirms2008.webhop.org

The workshop runs from June 15-18, 2008 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada on the University of Saskatchewan campus. It brings together researchers, technicians, graduate students and manufacturers from around the globe in a casual setting to discuss the technical issues surrounding Stable Isotope Analysis. Students may compete for a student prize as described on the web site. The focus of the workshop is not on specific scientific results and interpretation of data, as in other conferences. Instead, this is an opportunity to discuss problems and advances in CF-IRMS measurement techniques. Professors, lab managers, technicians, and grad students alike all benefit from the experience.

Please contact Geoff Koehler at geoff.koehler@usask.ca if you are interested in making a presentation (talk or poster). The abstract deadline is May 16, 2008. Please keep in mind that we are limiting the workshop to 100 attendees, so early registration will ensure your spot!
