The spirit of SPATIAL is sharing. We share our knowledge and perspectives. We share the load of group projects and our research outcomes. And we share experiences that, over two weeks, transform a group of strangers into a lasting network of friends, peers, and collaborators.
Social and informal activities are integrated throughout our two weeks together. You’ll get to know your new classmates over barbeque and beverages while watching the sunset over the Great Salt Lake. You might find yourself holding your colleague’s hand to ensure they don’t tumble into a cold mountain stream, or singing classic rock while driving the Salt Lake Valley to sample urban water systems on our field day. You can support your friends as you complete a strenuous hike to a high-mountain lake, and celebrate with them after an intense week of cranking out a research project you hadn’t even conceived of five days before.
Highlights from our schedule include:
The Waterisotopes Database and isoBank are community resources to develop FAIR data repositories for isotope science. Get involved, find and share data!
