According to The Conversation, researchers are thrilled about the widespread use of isotope analysis to curb illegal wildlife ...

Isotope analysis, and in particular compound‐specific stable isotope analysis (CSIA), has emerged as an indispensable tool in the investigation of environmental biodegradation. By measuring the subtle ...

At first, Professor Glen Jackson, who teaches forensic and investigative science at West Virginia University, had a hard time explaining to me what isotopes are. He told me he is used to speaking with ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

The city of Pompeii was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have now reconstructed the city's water supply system based on ...

PID is linked to infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and reproductive tract cancers, with a higher prevalence in the U.S. compared to global rates. The study used serum cotinine levels to objectively ...
