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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

As small-scale gold mining increases to meet demand, local crops absorb gaseous mercury emitted by the illegal and semilegal ...

The analysis shows that volcanic material in the sample contains sulfur compounds that are highly depleted of sulfur-33 (or 33S), one of four radioactively stable sulfur isotopes. The depleted 33S ...

A study published in Science Advances and led by the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology, uncovers how flexibility made ...
