Dear colleagues,

just shortly before Christmas time,
we would like to draw your attention to the EGU session BG5.03

"Application of Stable Isotopes in Biogeosciences"

(Convenor: Böttcher, M.E.; Co-Conveners: Bouillon, S.; Buchmann, N.)

at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2007
(Vienna, Austria, 15 -20 April 2007)

This session is open to all contributions in biogeochemistry and ecology
where stable isotope techniques are used as analytical tools, with a focus
on stable isotopes of light elements (C, H, O, N, S, …). We welcome
studies from both terrestrial and aquatic environments as well as
methodological and experimental studies that introduce new approaches or
techniques (including natural abundance work and labelling studies).

Results from the successful EGU session on the ‘Application of Stable
Isotopes in Biogeosciences’ that took place in 2005 have recently been
published in a special issue of Organic Geochemistry (Bouillon & Böttcher
(eds.) Vol.37, Issue 10, p.1197-1425).

All information can be found under http://meetings.copernicus.org/egu2007.

The deadline for the receipt of abstracts is January 15th, 2007.

Please do not hesitate to contact us in case of any questions.

We hope that we can stimulate your interest in the programme and we are
looking forward to receiving your contributions on new stable isotope
results, and meeting you in Vienna.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year,

Michael Böttcher, Steven Bouillon, Nina Buchmann
(IO Warnemünde, Uni Brussel, ETH Zurich)
