Traditional stable isotope geochemistry involves isotopes of light elements such as H, C, N,
O, and S, which are measured predominantly by gas-source mass spectrometry (Valley et al …

Abstract Strontium isotope ratio (87 Sr/86 Sr) has been widely used to trace human
migrations across geologically distinct landscapes in archaeological and forensic sciences …

Since the early 1950s, the number of international measurement standards for anchoring
stable isotope delta scales has mushroomed from 3 to more than 30, expanding to more …

The nine editions of Stable Isotope Geochemistry have appeared over a time span of nearly
50 years. The first edition (1973) appeared as a slim book of 135 pages. Due to the rapid …

Calcium carbonate formation is the primary pathway by which carbon is returned from the
ocean–atmosphere system to the solid Earth,. The removal of dissolved inorganic carbon …

Different approaches are used to study wood provenance, but most of them are based on
tracers in wood that are generally controlled by climatic factors. The strontium isotopic ratio …

Calcium is the fifth most abundant element in the Earth and in chondrites and is a pure
lithophile element which does not partition into planetary cores. Therefore, the calcium …

Mass-dependent Mo isotope fractionation has been investigated for a wide range of
meteorites including chondrites (enstatite, ordinary and carbonaceous chondrites), iron …

The stable strontium isotope system (δ 88/86 Sr) has recently been suggested to be a
suitable proxy for determining variations in the strength of the marine carbonate system, the …

Transhumance and palaeodiet are two central themes in archaeology and using chemical
analysis of bones and teeth to reconstruct trends and patterns in diet and mobility has …
