Zanadamu: An African hominin isotopic dataset
Data in Brief, 2023 The present article introduces Zanadamu, a comprehensive geo-temporal-referenced dataset that amalgamates all published stable isotope carbon and oxygen measurements on tooth enamel from African hominins, dated between 4.4 and 0.005 Ma.

Stable carbon isotopes of wood: a clue to palaeoclimate? [PDF]
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2002 Abstract Detailed stable carbon isotope and molecular investigations were undertaken on a number of archaeological and fossil wood specimens to provide insights into their use as rigorous independent palaeoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental parameters.

Conduits of contamination to contemporary food webs of the Norfolk Broads [PDF]
, 2011 PhDDuring the 1960s-1980s antifouling applications containing the organotin tributyltin (TBT) were applied to craft on the Norfolk Broads, leaving a legacy of contaminants in sediments.

Seasonal Cyclicity in Trace Elements and Stable Isotopes of Modern Horse Enamel. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The study of stable isotopes in fossil bioapatite has yielded useful results and has shown that bioapatites are able to faithfully record paleo-environmental and paleo-climatic parameters from archeological to geological timescales.

Stable and radiogenic isotopes as tracers for soil degradation [PDF]
, 2008 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 ...

Carbon stable isotope turnover and fractionation in grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella tissues
Aquatic Biology, 2013 Carbon stable isotope signatures can effectively trace food sources, elucidate trophic interactions, and presumably reflect food web structure. The present study conducted a diet-switch experiment using freshwater teleost grass carp Ctenopharyngodon ...

Freezing and chemical preservatives alter the stable isotope values of carbon and nitrogen of the Asiatic clam (Corbicula fluminea) [PDF]
, 2010 We tested the impacts of most common sample preservation methods used for aquatic sample materials on the stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in clams, a typical baseline indicator organism for many aquatic food web studies utilising stable ...

Photosynthetic Fractionation of the Stable Isotopes of Oxygen and Carbon [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1993 Isotope discrimination during photosynthetic exchange of O2 and CO2 was measured using enzyme, thylakoid, and whole cell preparations. Evolved oxygen from isolated spinach thylakoids was isotopically identical (within analytical error) to its source water.
