They offer insight into climate variability at tectonic, orbital, millennial and historical timescales and help us to unravel complex processes.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px;">At the Bolin Centre Summer School 2015 you will learn about isotopes in biogeochemical cycles of climatically active substances such as water, carbon compounds and aerosols. Other topics are the use of isotopes in reconstructing the state of the past climate and in studying Earth system processes. An important part will be lectures describing how isotopes are measured in various media.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px;">The five day course will comprise four days with morning and late afternoon lectures allowing time for afternoon field trips. The sites of interest include raised shorelines, glaciated landscapes, peatlands, machair and (of course) one of Islay’s eight distilleries. On the fifth day, we will visit classic examples of Neoproterozoic glacial deposits and stromatolite-bearing cap carbonates, which have been cited as evidence for near global glaciations. </div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px;"><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: 'Caecilia Com'; color: rgb(0, 62, 113);"><b>When</b></div><div style="margin: 0px;">23–29 August, 2015</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: 'Caecilia Com'; color: rgb(0, 62, 113);"><b><br></b></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: 'Caecilia Com'; color: rgb(0, 62, 113);"><b>Where</b></div><div style="margin: 0px;">Port Charlotte, Islay, Scotland</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: 'Caecilia Com'; color: rgb(0, 62, 113);"><b><br></b></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: 'Caecilia Com'; color: rgb(0, 62, 113);"><b>Organising team leaders</b></div><div style="margin: 0px;">Leonard Barrie, Alasdair Skelton and Björn Gunnarson</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: 'Caecilia Com'; color: rgb(241, 133, 46);"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: 'Caecilia Com'; color: rgb(0, 62, 113);"><b>Who may apply</b></div><div style="margin: 0px;">PhD students and early career scientists</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: 'Caecilia Com'; color: rgb(0, 62, 113);"><b><br></b></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: 'Caecilia Com'; color: rgb(0, 62, 113);"><b>How to apply</b></div><div style="margin: 0px;">Please send an email to <a href="mailto:bjorn.gunnarson@natgeo.su.se">bjorn.gunnarson@natgeo.su.se</a> </div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: 'Caecilia Com'; color: rgb(0, 62, 113);"><b><br></b></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: 'Caecilia Com'; color: rgb(0, 62, 113);"><b>More information</b></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><a href="http://www.bolin.su.se/summerschool2015">www.bolin.su.se/summerschool2015</a></div></div></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Caecilia Com'; color: rgb(0, 62, 113);"><b>Deadline </b></span><b style="color: rgb(241, 133, 46); font-family: 'Caecilia Com';">1 February 2015 </b></div><div><b style="color: rgb(241, 133, 46); font-family: 'Caecilia Com';"><br></b></div><div apple-content-edited="true">
