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 ...

The study of barium isotope geochemistry in aquatic systems has evolved into an indispensable tool for deciphering the complex interactions between chemical weathering, mineral precipitation, and ...

The new Center for Isotope Geochemistry in the Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences provides researchers with state-of-the-art lab space and technology to analyze materials for new insights ...

The major areas of study in the Department of Earth Sciences (ES) include geochemistry, geomorphology, hydrology and geobiology, as well as more traditional research areas in geophysics, petrology, ...

Sarah Aarons is an earth scientist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. She received her bachelor's degree in geological and environmental science at Stanford University in 2009 and ...

We measure carbon and oxygen isotopes in air and ice to better understand Earth systems, including the carbon cycle, past climate, and methane. In August, Jianghanyang (Ben) Li joined Department of ...

A new series of measurements of oxygen isotopes provides increasing evidence that the moon formed from the collision of the Earth with another large, planet-sized astronomical body, around 4.5 billion ...

When a cargo ship carrying fertilizer sank into the Red Sea on March 2, reporters sought out expert insight from none other than Xingchen Wang, professor of earth and environmental sciences at Boston ...

Measurements of an element in Earth and Moon rocks have just disproved the leading hypotheses for the origin of the Moon. Tiny differences in the segregation of the isotopes of potassium between the ...

An international team of researchers have found a way to determine the origin of colourless glass from the Roman period. Using isotopes of the rare element hafnium, they confirm that the prestigious ...
