Join our IRMS User Meeting: Ozitope 2024
NOVEMBER 5 - 7, 2024 / Brisbane, Australia
The University of Queensland and Elementar Australia will be hosting an IRMS user group workshop during November 5-7th in Brisbane: Ozitope 2024.
Ozitope 2024 invites all users of stable isotope mass spectrometers to discuss the use and improvement of the technology. The conference will focus on methodological advances, discuss technical challenges, novel applications of stable isotopes and networking.
Ozitope 2024 will provide a collaborative, informal event to discuss and promote stable isotope analysis and instrumentation. We want to support the stable isotope analysis and elemental analysis community. Therefore, we are proud to provide a space to foster new ideas and share best analytical practices to enable optimal instrument performance, data quality and instrument lifetime. The event is open to anyone who uses or might use stable isotope analysers but is only available for a limited number of participants. Early career researchers and students are welcome as well.
The main conference, from Tuesday to Thursday November 5-7th, will feature presentations and hands-on workshops on topics such as software handling and hardware enhancements. All participants are encouraged to present their work, challenges and solutions, either in oral presentations or poster format.
Preliminary program
The preliminary program, including the external speakers is getting posted soon. The workshops from us will cover the following:
- lyticOS® software session
- isoprime precisION general operation
- isoprime precisION maintenance overview
- isoprime 100 user question and answer session
Keynote Speaker:
Kim Baublys: The University of Queensland
School of the Environment: Faculty of Science
Kim Baublys is a geochemist with over 20 years of experience. Her research interests lie in the application of stable and radiogenic isotope techniques to understand gas-geochemistry and hydrogeochemistry processes in large sedimentary basins. Kim is also the manager of the Stable Isotope Geochemistry Laboratory (SIGL) at UQ where she facilitates research using light stable isotope (C, H, O, N, S) analysis and interpretation across many disciplines, such as geology, oceanography, climatology, environmental science, biology, medicine and many more. She has considerable expertise in developing new methods for processing samples for isotopic analyses and collaborates with industry and major government agencies.
I would like to attend
We would be very pleased if you are willing to share your knowledge and valuable experience with colleagues. We invite all who wish to do so to present their research; please indicate your intention and a title or abstract when registering. There is no fixed deadline for submission, but ideally by 30th September so that we can revise the schedule if necessary. We will endeavour to allow as many speakers as possible to participate.
Presentations will be oral and should preferably be 20 minutes long, with 5 minutes for questions.
We are happy to honour your knowledge and experience by covering your hotel costs.
