Stable Isotope Consulting, Training, and Custom Data Analysis with Dr. Brian Hayden.
Stable isotopes are powerful tools — but only when interpreted correctly. I help researchers, agencies, and industry turn isotope data into clear, defensible insights.
Whether you need tailored mixing models, instrument troubleshooting, project design, or R-based analysis, I provide tailored support based on 20+ years of applied isotope ecology.
