Stable isotope analysis has become an indispensable tool in deciphering the complexities of the water cycle and climate variability. By measuring the ratios of stable isotopes such as δ18O and δ2H in ...

Archaeologists at UC Santa Cruz used predictive modeling to map strontium isotope ratios across all of modern-day Angola, a region in Southwest Africa that was once a major hub for the transatlantic ...

For the next five years, the University of Wyoming’s Stable Isotope Facility (SIF) will be the go-to laboratory to analyze National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) soil samples from across the ...

Marine ecology encompasses the study of complex interactions among organisms and their environment in the world’s oceans. Central to advancing this field has been the adoption of stable isotope ...

The researchers’ forensic tool uses stable isotope analysis to identify the carbon and nitrogen values that reflect the differences in the diets of birds raised in captivity and those from the wild.

Defining the role of reef predators is particularly important given the rapid rate at which some species are declining, yet knowledge of trophic relationships is often lacking, particularly for large ...

The city of Pompeii was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz ...

Oxygen isotopes data enable researchers to look far back into the geologic past and reconstruct the climate of the past. In doing so, they consider several factors such as ocean temperature and ice ...

Besides honey, stable isotope techniques are also used to verify the authenticity and origin of products such as edible bird’s nests, coffee, beef, rice, Harumanis mangoes, and cocoa beans, and can ...

In a recent study published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers reconstructed historical dietary habits using proteomic and stable isotope analyses. Paleodietary studies can reconstruct the ...
