Are you curious about how environmental DNA (eDNA) would benefit your geoscience research and how to get started? This hands-on course offers a practical roadmap for designing and executing successful eDNA experiments in the geosciences.
We'll walk you through every step — from choosing the right sampling strategies, to understanding lab protocols and commercial kits, technical replication (and why they matter), and essential controls. You'll also explore the pros and cons of different sequencing platforms, helping you select the best tools for your research goals.
By the end, you'll be fully equipped to plan your own eDNA survey. Whether you're just starting out or refining your approach, this course provides the practical insights you need to succeed.
