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 study by researchers at Department of Geoscience, Aarhus University, Denmark now shows that strontium isotopes may often be used incorrectly in archeological studies, as the widespread use of added ...

Scientists from Northwestern have published new findings on the factors that triggered the oceanic anoxic event (OAE) 1a in the Early Cretaceous Period about120 million years ago. The unprecedented ...

This geological map of equatorial Africa shows strontium isotope sampling locations Oelze’s team will use to create the first-ever strontium isotope map of the region, a tool researchers will use 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 ...

ABSTRACT Apex predators play critical roles in the ecosystems they inhabit. Unfortunately, little is known about movement patterns for many species. This information is critical for evaluating ...

Andrew Rogers: physicists have spotted mirror symmetry violation in strontium-73 and bromine-73. (Courtesy: UMass Lowell) Physicists in the US have made the surprising discovery that two nuclear ...

Strontium isotopes are frequently used in archaeological studies to establish the provenance and migration history of prehistoric people and artifacts. Many of these studies may be based on incorrect ...
