Hydrogen isotopes are unique tools for identifying and understanding biological and
chemical processes. Hydrogen isotope labelling allows for the traceless and direct …

Abstract Strontium isotope ratios (87 Sr/86 Sr) are a popular tool in provenance applications
in archeology, forensics, paleoecology, and environmental sciences. Using bioavailable 87 …

We present a novel database of biological and geological 87 Sr/86 Sr values (n= 1920) from
Italy, using literature data and newly analysed samples, for provenance purposes. We …

Strontium is a chemical element without biological functions in humans. In fact, only two
biological roles are known, both as a biomineral constituent. However, strontium and …

Wasserstoffisotope sind einzigartige Werkzeuge zur Identifizierung und Erforschung
biologischer oder chemischer Vorgänge. Wasserstoffisotopenmarkierungen erlauben den …

Lead (Pb) is a non-essential and extremely noxious metallic-element whose
biogeochemical cycle has been influenced predominantly by increasing human activities to …

Unidentified human remains have historically been investigated nationally by law
enforcement authorities. However, this approach is outdated in a globalized world with rapid …

Abstract The oxygen (18O/16O) isotope analysis of hair is commonly applied to reconstruct
an individual's residence history. However, region-of-origin as determined from oxygen …

The heart of forensic science is application of the scientific method and analytical
approaches to answer questions central to solving a crime: Who, What, When, Where, and …

Due to the straightforward and non-invasive sampling, ease of transport and long-term
storage and access to time-resolved information, determination of element concentrations …
