The Guianese paradox: How can the freshwater outflow from the Amazon increase the salinity of the Guianan shore? [PDF]
French Guiana is notable for the extent of its rain forests, which occupy 97% of the country, and the influence of the Amazon along its shores. In fact, the shores and estuaries support a mangrove forest typical of saline conditions.

Isotopic Fingerprinting: A Promising Tool for Coffee Authenticity Checks
Almost every physical or chemical process in nature favors certain light stable isotopes over others, and thereby leaves an isotopic “fingerprint” on the substances involved.

Using 13C-, 15N-, and 18O stable isotope analysis of human bone tissue to identify transhumance, high altitude habitation and reconstruct palaeodiet for the early medieval Alpine population at Volders, Austria [PDF]
The analysis of stable isotopes of oxygen from structural carbonate in archaeological human bone samples originating from an early medieval cemetery in the Alpine community of Volders, Austria were used to determine the utilization of higher altitudes ...

Stable and radiogenic isotopes as tracers for soil degradation [PDF]
Soil erosion seriously threatens mountain slopes. Direct measurement of soil erosion in the field is difficult and needs long term recording. However, stable and radiogenic isotopes are potential tracers for soil erosion estimation and would enable a ...
