| EVENING WORKSHOP: Compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) as a characterisation tool for site impacts from organic contaminants | |
| Monday 14 September 2026 Location: City Room 1, Adelaide Convention Centre | |
EVENING Time: 6:30pm - 8:30pm | Audience: Regulators and Compliance Officers, Consultants, Risk Assessors, Asset and landowners Why Attend? Over the past three decades, numerous research studies performed on CSIA have successfully produced a highly sensitive field assessment tool to document source signatures and transformation processes for organic constituents of concern (COC). The scientific foundations and practical applications of CSIA have been widely disseminated into the industry through numerous scientific review publications, comprehensive textbooks, and guidance documents. As a result, the method has become cost effective and is now increasingly used by field practitioners to gain key information on COC origin and fate that traditional methods based on concentration analysis are unable to reveal. Whether you are new to isotope techniques or looking to expand your expertise, this short course will provide practical tools and knowledge that can immediately enhance your ability to investigate contaminated sites using CSIA with confidence and technical rigor. By the end of the course, participants will have a clear understanding of both the capabilities and limitations of CSIA, enabling them to use this powerful tool with technical rigor and improve site management and remediation decisions.
