Regional Assessment of Recharge Elevation of Tap Water Sources Using the Isoscape Approach

Mountain Research and Development, 2017
The importance of mountains as “natural water towers” has been quantified by comparing water budgets in upstream (mountain) and downstream (lowland) areas, but their importance for tap water supplies has not been assessed.

A gulf-wide synoptic isoscape of zooplankton isotope ratios reveals the importance of nitrogen fixation in supporting secondary production in the central Gulf of Mexico

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
A synoptic gulf-wide isoscape of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) in the Gulf of Mexico based on mesozooplankton (335-1000 um) was used as a proxy for the isotopic baseline and for calculating regional contributions of dissolved inorganic nitrogen ...

A bioavailable strontium isoscape of Australia [PDF]

Earth System Science Data
Strontium isotope ratios (87Sr/86Sr) at the Earth's surface offer powerful tools for geological, environmental, and archaeological applications. In minerals and biological materials, 87Sr/86Sr reflects the isoztopic composition of the local bedrock and ...

A bioavailable 87Sr/86Sr isoscape of Mongolia: Implications for the reconstruction of past human and animal mobility. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Understanding past human and animal mobility is essential for reconstructing the social and cultural dynamics of ancient societies. Strontium isotope analysis (87Sr/86Sr) offers a powerful tool to investigate provenance and movement.

A strontium isoscape of northern Australia

Earth System Science Data, 2023
Abstract. Strontium isotopes (87Sr/86Sr) are useful to trace processes in the Earth sciences as well as in forensic, archaeological, palaeontological, and ecological sciences. As very few large-scale Sr isoscapes exist in Australia, we have identified an opportunity to determine 87Sr/86Sr ratios on archived fluvial sediment samples from the low-density

A groundwater isoscape (δD, δ18O) for Mexico

Journal of Geochemical Exploration, 2009
Numerous studies have shown that precipitation isocapes drive δD and δ18O patterns in surficial waters and in terrestrial food webs.

A seasonal precipitation isoscape for New Zealand

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Region: New Zealand Focus: Application of a seasonal precipitation isoscape for New Zealand, to incorporate influences of regional scale atmospheric circulation, and local topography. New hydrological insights: Our regionally calibrated sinusoidal model demonstrated substantial variation in the strength (amplitude and fit) of seasonal cycles of ...
