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 ...

Strontium isotope geochemistry plays a pivotal role in elucidating Earth’s dynamic processes. By utilising both stable (δ88/86Sr) and radiogenic (87Sr/86Sr) isotopic systems, researchers are able to ...

A team of researchers led by UC Santa Cruz recently released a sophisticated new map that reveals, for the first time, the unique “geologic fingerprints” for most of the African continent. The map ...

Recently, Associate Professor LV Qinqin from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), constructed the first largescale, semi-quantitative ...

A cross section of Misha the elephant’s molar used in research by University of Utah geologists who are developing new methods of tracking ancient wildlife migrations. Teeth recovered from a beloved ...

Tracing the regional origin of everything from milk to invasive bugs is now possible thanks to a new project. A strontium isotope map means biological material can be pinpointed to distinct ...

A drama has been unfolding in the corridor outside Matthew Wooller’s lab at the University of Alaska. That’s where he and his colleagues tape up large sheets of paper mapping levels of strontium, ...

A Navy official recently told the community that it considers recent retesting data reflecting elevated levels of the radioactive isotope Strontium-90 on the development site of the old Hunters Point ...

Vikings brought horses and dogs to the British Isles from Scandinavia, a new study suggests. A chemical analysis of bone fragments from a cemetery in England provides the first solid scientific ...

A biology student traveled 20,000 kilometers collecting milkweed, creating isotope analysis of monarch butterflies' annual migration journey, hoping to identify factors behind this threatened insect's ...
