Speaker: Maren Pauly, PhD
Biogenic Apatite (CaPO4) Analysis
July 26, 2022 in /by isobarIsobar Science offers Biogenic Apatite (CaPO4) analysis on bones and teeth samples.
Reconstructing Lead Pollution & Exposure through History
July 25, 2022 in Company Updates, Company Updates, Company Updates, Company Updates, Company Updates, Company Updates, Company Updates, Company Updates, Hydrology / Environmntal Science, Lead Isotopes /by isobarLead is a naturally occurring element found within the earth’s crust as well as in bodies of water, soil and overlaying plants. The rise and fall of lead use through space and time makes the reconstruction of lead isotopes very interesting for research into past civilizations and present environmental studies.
Isoscapes in Food Science
July 16, 2022 in Food, Lead Isotopes, Lead Isotopes, Sr Isotopes, Sr Isotopes, Sr Isotopes, Sr Isotopes /by isobarIn the food industry, certain products and ingredients are more highly valued when they originate from specific regions of the world. Given the importance of designating an origin to products, geochemical fingerprinting can be used to identify product origin.
U-Th Dating in Archaeology
July 8, 2022 in U-Th Dating /by isobarUranium-Thorium (U-Th) dating is a radioactive method to date a variety of carbonate samples, including corals, cave deposits, cave artwork, shells, foraminifera and bone.
Strontium & Neodymium Case Study: Connecting Atmospheric Dust to Source Region
June 6, 2022 in Hydrology / Environmntal Science /by isobarThe concentration, composition and circulation of atmospheric dust can play an important role in the global radiation budget. Sr-Nd-Hf isotopes are inherent in many geological settings and have been used to track the origin of sediments and dust.
Isoscapes: connecting samples to place
May 13, 2022 in Archaeology, Archaeology, Archaeology, Archaeology, Archaeology, Archaeology /by isobarMaps demonstrating variability in specific isotopes across a landscape have been produced in varying spatial resolutions (local, regional, global) – known as isoscapes.
Isotopes in Petroleum Exploration (Pb-Sr) and Verification (14C)
April 29, 2022 in Petroleum /by isobarIn petroleum exploration, it is vital to be able to interpret and date key occurrences within petroleum systems – including petroleum generation and alteration (post-generation). For example, identifying and dating the occurrence of certain authigenic minerals (e.g. carbonate cements) can provide information on when and where oil is likely to accumulate to aid in targeting exploration.
Using Strontium Isotopes to Track Animal Origin and Migration
April 22, 2022 in Archaeology, Paleontology / Paleoclimatology, Paleontology / Paleoclimatology, Paleontology / Paleoclimatology, Paleontology / Paleoclimatology, Sr Isotopes /by isobarThe details of animal origin and migratory routes through terrestrial and aquatic systems can be traced through the analysis of various stable isotopes including strontium, neodymium, carbon and oxygen.
