For decades, scientists have relied on a chemical fingerprint inside water molecules to determine where plants get their moisture. The method shaped our understanding of drought resilience, ...
It is also used to generate other radioisotopes that have potential uses in cancer therapies. ORNL produces actinium-227 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Demand for the ornaments, jewelry, and other luxury items carved from the ivory in elephant tusks has led poachers to decimate elephant populations. An international ban exists on the ivory trade, and ...
The CU IsoBuffs - a loosely knit community of stable isotope enthusiasts at the University of Colorado - hosted the 2023 Front Range Isotope Day (FRIDay) on Friday August 25 th. The meeting was held ...
A large-scale study led by the University of Jyväskylä revealed that human activity is consistently changing the ecosystems ...
"Synthesis of a Stable Isotope Symposium, held at Newcastle upon Tyne in July 1996"--Introd. Isotope sources, analysis and interpretation of organic composition -- Soils, nutrients and plants -- ...
