Sr-87/Sr-86 and trace element mapping of geosphere-hydrosphere-biosphere interactions: A case study in Ireland Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Geochemical mapping of biosphere variation has wide application to geological, environmental, forensic and archaeological research. The extent to which trace elements may be used to complement strontium isotopes (87Sr/86Sr) for biosphere characterisation is unclear and uncertainties exist regarding the most suitable sample media for this purpose. Here, the variation in 87Sr/86Sr and trace elements, with focus on the rare earth elements and ...
