Carroll, Hannah M.; Houston, Derek D.; Ankerstjerne, Suzanne; Wanamaker, Alan D., Jr. – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Stable isotopes in natural materials provide a powerful way to study energy flow in many systems and are widely used in fields such as archaeology, ecology, forensics, geochemistry, geology, oceanography, palaeoecology and palaeoclimatology. Based on the manner in which stable isotopes fractionate in natural systems, they allow scientists to…
