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

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 ...

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 ...

Stable isotope analysis suggests that, before Roman aqueducts, residents of the city may have soaked in dirty water ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Oxygen isotopes data enable researchers to look far back into the geologic past and reconstruct the climate of the past. In ...
