This course aims to strengthen expertise in this specialised area of water resources management.

The short course titled Isotopes in environmental studies: basic principles,
data analysis and analytical methods using laser spectrometry, incorporates the latest theoretical developments and practical exercises, and is designed to enhance the expertise of professionals, researchers, and students in isotope hydrology, focusing on the methods and techniques for processing and interpreting isotopic data.

The course is presented in collaboration with the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission and the Ghana Water Resources Commission and under the auspices of the AUDA-NEPAD African Network of Centres of Excellence in Water Sciences and Technology (ACEWATER III Project).

COURSE OBJECTIVES

The course aims to offer a comprehensive overview of isotope hydrology, focusing on its applications in water resource management. It also covers the latest advancements in isotope hydrology to better understand and characterise atmospheric, surface, and groundwater systems. Participants will gain the skills needed to process and interpret isotopic data accurately, addressing critical hydrological questions. The training also includes hands-on exercises and real-world case studies to illustrate the practical applications of isotope techniques in diverse hydrological settings.
