A strontium isoscape of southwestern Australia and progress toward a national strontium isoscape [PDF]
Earth System Science DataStrontium isotopes (87Sr/86Sr) are widely used tracers in the geosciences. Here we exploit an opportunity to determine 87Sr/86Sr ratios on archived fluvial sediment samples from the low-density National Geochemical Survey of Australia (NGSA). The present

Strontium isoscape of sub-Saharan Africa allows tracing origins of victims of the transatlantic slave trade [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsStrontium isotope (87Sr/86Sr) analysis with reference to strontium isotope landscapes (Sr isoscapes) allows reconstructing mobility and migration in archaeology, ecology, and forensics.

A century and a half precipitation oxygen isoscape for China generated using data fusion and bias correction [PDF]
Scientific Data, 2023 The precipitation oxygen isotopic composition is a useful environmental tracer for climatic and hydrological studies. However, accurate and high-resolution precipitation oxygen isoscapes are currently lacking in China.

A strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isoscape of Southern Ethiopia: implications for hominin land use and faunal mobility patterns [PDF]
Frontiers in Environmental ArchaeologyTracing human and animal mobility behavior, land use, and exploitation strategies through strontium (Sr) isotope analysis is critical for archaeological and palaeoecological research.

An insect isoscape of UK and Ireland [PDF]
Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, 2021 Rationale The study of insect migration is problematic due to the small size of insects. Stable isotope analysis can be used to elucidate movement, either by geographic assignment of location of a species, or by simply distinguishing migrant from resident populations.

A 3-D groundwater isoscape of the contiguous USA for forensic and water resource science.
PLoS ONE, 2022 A wide range of hydrological, ecological, environmental, and forensic science applications rely on predictive "isoscape" maps to provide estimates of the hydrogen or oxygen isotopic compositions of environmental water sources.

A feather hydrogen (δ2H) isoscape for Brazil
PLoS ONE, 2022 Spatial patterns of stable isotopes in animal tissues or “isoscapes” can be used to investigate animal origins in a range of ecological and forensic investigations.

Toward a Deuterium Feather Isoscape for Sub-Saharan Africa: Progress, Challenges and the Path Ahead. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 A key challenge to the application of continent-wide feather isoscapes for geographic assignment of migrant birds is the lack of ground-truthed samples. This is especially true for long-distance Palearctic-Afrotropical migrants.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The analysis of 87Sr/86Sr has become a robust tool for identifying non-local individuals at archeological sites. The 87Sr/86Sr in human bioapatite reflects the geological signature of food and water consumed during tissue development.
