Isobar’s Webinar: Migration Studies & Geographic Origin
March 23, 2022 in Archaeology, Lead Isotopes, Paleontology / Paleoclimatology, Sr Isotopes, Webinars /by Haley GershonIsobar’s webinar on migration studies and geographic origin will focus on lead isotopes for tracking origin and trade of metal artifacts in addition to using strontium isotopes to track diet.

Analysing lake sediment cores: from dating to paleoclimate reconstructions
November 2, 2021 in Lead Isotopes, news, Paleontology / Paleoclimatology, Sr Isotopes, U-Th Dating /by Haley GershonSediments used for climate and environmental reconstructions come in many different forms (including lacustrine, marine, peat, terrestrial and aeolian deposits) and can be characterized by their grain size, shape, sedimentary facies, chemical and biological composition and accumulation/sedimentation rate.
How to choose optimal samples for U-Th dating
October 20, 2021 in Archaeology, news, Paleontology / Paleoclimatology, U-Th Dating /by Haley GershonU-Th dating can be used to date various sample types including cave deposits/speleothems, corals, shells, bones and carbonate layers in sedimentary successions.
Bones Webinar: Isotopes in Dating, Diets and Migration Studies
October 5, 2021 in Archaeology, Lead Isotopes, Paleontology / Paleoclimatology, Sr Isotopes, U-Th Dating, Webinars /by Haley GershonIsobar Science and Beta Analytic’s bones webinar focuses on C-14 and U-Th methods for bone samples. Topics include optimal sample types, common issues, and how to prepare bone samples for isotopic analysis.
Developing Chronologies for Reconstructing Past Climates
September 28, 2021 in news, Paleontology / Paleoclimatology, U-Th Dating /by Haley GershonPaleoclimate archives are generally dated using two main methods: radiocarbon and uranium-thorium dating. 14C dating tends to be more accurate, however, it can only be used on samples that are less than around 50,000 years old. Whereas U-Th dating can be used for the last 500,000 years.
Analysing Water Samples
September 17, 2021 in Boron Isotopes, Hydrology / Environmntal Science, Lead Isotopes, news, Sr Isotopes /by Haley GershonStable and radioactive isotopes can be analysed in groundwater and surface water samples in order to assess the magnitude and origin of pollution, rate of pollution infiltration into the environment, and timing of water interactions with the atmosphere.
Paleoclimatology Webinar: Isotopes in dating and climate-proxy relationships
September 7, 2021 in Paleontology / Paleoclimatology, U-Th Dating, Webinars /by Haley GershonIsobar Science and Beta Analytic’s paleclimatology webinar focuses on the importance of C-14 and U-Th dating in paleoclimatology, and how archives can be used to reconstruct past climate.
