The lectures started
with an introduction to SIRFER (Stable Isotope
Ratio Facility for Environmental Research, and yes, acronyms were to be
a recurrent theme throughout the course). Thure Cerling gave us a useful
introduction to some of the most fundamental concepts that would be a part of
all the lectures over the coming two weeks. (Fortunately, there were comprehensive handouts, and the lectures were
recorded for us to view later. For this I was very grateful.)
