This analytical technique utilises the stable isotopes preserved in land snail shells as reliable proxies for reconstructing past environmental and climatic conditions. The isotopic compositions, ...

Isotopic analysis primarily involves the separation of isotopes based on the significant differences in mass. The method is effective for identifying the isotopic signature within the inorganic and ...

With the new grant, the Stable Isotope Lab will acquire a cutting-edge instrument called an isotope-ratio-monitoring mass spectrometer (IRMS). A major grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) ...

Stable isotope techniques can help identify the sources of water pollution associated with agricultural activities. Knowing the origin of nutrients or contaminants is essential to improve agricultural ...

Proceedings of a symposium jointly organized by the IAEA and FAO, Vienna, 1–5 October 1990. The objective of the symposium was to evaluate progress in the use of stable isotopes to examine various ...

To save elephant populations from extinction, the international community banned the sale of their ivory—but selling mammoth ivory remains legal, and the two are difficult to tell apart, especially ...

The discovery of a peculiarly shaped skull by archaeologists has illuminated a previously unknown ritual deformation process.
