Strontium isotope geochemistry plays a pivotal role in elucidating Earth’s dynamic processes. By utilising both stable (δ88/86Sr) and radiogenic (87Sr/86Sr) isotopic systems, researchers are able to ...
A team of researchers led by UC Santa Cruz recently released a sophisticated new map that reveals, for the first time, the unique “geologic fingerprints” for most of the African continent. The map ...
Archaeologists at UC Santa Cruz used predictive modeling to map strontium isotope ratios across all of modern-day Angola, a region in Southwest Africa that was once a major hub for the transatlantic ...
Misha lived her whole life in zoos, but this elephant's teeth are now helping scientists reconstruct wildlife migrations. Geologists show how strontium isotopes found in teeth or tusks reveal where ...
In South Carolina, members of the local Black community are teaming up with scientists to produce a novel study of the trans-Atlantic slave trade Sunlight illuminates a plaque in Charleston, South ...
