Pb isotopes and geochemical monitoring of Arctic sedimentary supplies and water mass export through Fram Strait since the Last Glacial Maximum

1/6/2012 Abstract Elemental and Pb isotope measurements were performed on leachates and residues from surface sediments and two <50 cm cores (MC04 and MC16) collected along a NE-SW transect through Fram Strait. Geochemical and isotopic properties of residues from surface … Continue reading

How algae use a ‘sulfate trap’ to selectively biomineralize strontium

11/21/2011 In any kind of nuclear reactor, there is a small amount of the radioactive isotope strontium-90 that is formed as part of the regular fission process. In fact, fission products such as strontium-90 make up approximately 3% of the … Continue reading

Carbon Isotopes Find Out Gigantopithecus blacki Lived in Densely Forested Areas

11/14/2011 A new paper published in the Chinese Science Bulletin has used oxygen radioisotopes in the teeth of G. blacki to prove the environment of southeast China was densely forested and rather similar to today. This suggests that the teeth and … Continue reading

Stable Isotope and Lithologic Variations on the Eirik Drift During the Holocene: Implications for Climate and Deep-Water Interactions

11/10/2011 Abstract The cyclonic flow of NADW around the southern tip of Greenland into the Labrador Sea results in the deposition of huge volumes of sediments that form the Eirik Drift. This region is important because it is ideally situated … Continue reading

Stable isotope models to predict geographic origin and cultivation conditions of marijuana

11/10/2011 Abstract Here we describe stable isotope based models using hydrogen and carbon isotope ratios to predict geographic region-of-origin and growth environment for marijuana, with the intent of applying these models to analyses of marijuana trafficking in the USA. The … Continue reading
