This workshop significantly enhanced my understanding of stable isotopes and provided valuable opportunities to engage with experts and peers working across diverse research areas. I was grateful to meet knowledgeable and supportive presenters. The program also deepened my understanding of how my samples were analysed and how to interpret the results. The notes and insights I gained will be useful for my future research, wherever it may lead. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in SIs.

The SIBS workshop is a great setting to learn about isotopes — whether you're a first year PhD candidate or a seasoned post-doc. You learn new methods, the subtlety of this complex and elegant discipline, and you make excellent connections with future colleagues and friends.
by Nathan English, Instructor
Attending SIBS 2018 in Hawkesbury as a student was a turning point for me. I learned techniques I still use today and connected with an inspiring community of isotope enthusiasts. Since then, isotopes have become a core part of my research, and I’ve had the privilege of returning to other SIBS events as a lecturer and mentor. Looking back, I’m grateful for both experiences, learning and later giving back.

EucFACE Expedition
Visiting EucFACE during SIBS 2023 was unforgettable — the world’s only mature forest CO2 enrichment site! Our hosts from Western Sydney University showed how isotopes reveal how rising CO2 affects soils, plants, and microbes.
