isotopebased
Isotopebased refers to methods or analyses that rely on isotopes to obtain information about origins, ages, or processes. The approach encompasses stable isotope analysis, radiometric dating, and isotope tracing, and it is applied across fields that study materials and their transformations over space and time.
Techniques commonly employed include isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS), multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS),
Applications span geology and geochemistry for provenance studies and paleoclimate reconstructions; archaeology and anthropology for diet,
Limitations and considerations include the need for rigorous calibration against standards, potential overlap of isotopic signals
Related topics include isotopic analysis, isotope ratio mass spectrometry, radiometric dating, isotope fractionation, and tracer studies.
