Using naturally occurring isotopes as environmental tracers to tell us about environments, and organic material (animals and plants).
- Geographic Region of Origin – connectivity between a sample and its origin.
- IsoScapes – mapping isotopes in landscapes to understand earth processes.
- Food Forensics – developing quality checking tools to prove authenticity.
- Heritage Materials – verifying antiquities, archeological artefacts and taonga.
- Ecology - distinguishing between natural and man-made processes.
