First Announcement

7th Australasian Conference on Isotopes in the Environment

24-26 September, 2001

Location:   Ranelagh House, Robertson, NSW  (120 km SW of Sydney)

Theme: Stable-isotopes, radiogenic isotopes, and cosmogenic isotopes in
the natural environment.

There will be a special session on the techniques and uses of
continuous-flow isotope-ratio mass spectrometry.

Contributions are invited for the 7th Australasian Conference on
Isotopes in the Environment.  Sessions will be devoted to
stable-isotope, radiogenic and cosmogenic isotope studies that pertain
to the natural environment.  The subject matter encompasses the
geological, hydrological, biological, oceanographic, atmospheric and
food sciences.

Presentations on new techniques will be welcome, and visits to isotope
laboratories at the University of Wollongong and ANSTO (The Australian
Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation) will be arranged.  The
length of each oral presentation will be 15-20 minutes.  Persons wishing
