  1. TSR alters propane isotopes selectively at the central carbon while terminal carbon remains stable, providing a new tool to trace natural gas origins in sulfur-rich reservoirs. #openaccess at short-url.org/1q1id

  2. RE: mstdn.social/@archaeology/1159

    A great and detailed #study about early #medieval #migration events to #England from 400–1100 AD. The study concludes that, contrary to the #traditional #narrative, there was no abrupt migration event, but rather that England was settled #continuously. This is supported by #oxygen #isotope #analysis of human #teeth.

  4. The #copper #isotope #Cu-64 plays an important role in medicine: it is used in imaging processes and also shows potential for #cancer therapy. However, it does not occur naturally and must be produced artificially

    study uses ancient plant to decode #Earth's #climate history
    the study focuses on #horsetails — hollow-stemmed #plants that have thrived on Earth for more than 400 million years. The team’s findings reveal that #water traveling through these plants undergoes such intense natural #distillation that its #oxygen #isotope ratios resemble those found in meteorites or in extraterrestrial materials.

    Very excited to share our more recent paper published today in @nature Communications, where we show based on #clumped #isotope measurements in a giant sea #snail 🐚 that Europe experienced a monsoon-like climate during the #Eocene high-CO2 period.

  12. For atomic nuclei, I understand that there is a stability benefit for having even numbers of protons or neutrons, and I understand why having too few neutrons would be destabilizing due to charge-charge repulsion, but why does having too *high* a number of neutrons also lead to nuclear instability? #science #chemistry #nuclear #isotope

  16. Proud to be on this publication in GCA by Barbora Krizova et al. We show #clumped #isotope reordering in #Cretaceous rudist bivalves is location-specific. Understanding burial history is essential for selecting shell material for #paleoclimate #reconstructions. sciencedirect.com/science/arti

  18. The #clumped #isotope paleo temperature proxy is one of the most reliable means of temperature reconstruction in #geology. This new study shows that it can be applied equally on various carbonate minerals (calcite, aragonite, dolomite, witherite and siderite).

    Ups. Eigentor.
    Ich wollte unabhängige, nicht lobbyismusgesteuerte Quellen. Kannst du nicht liefern.

    Und zur geologischen Stabilität ohne Wassereinbruch usw. für Jahrtausende:
    Gorleben macht vor, wie gut das funktioniert.
    Garantieren kann das eh keiner.

    Insofern bei deinen "Quellen': Traue keiner Statistik, die du nicht selbst gefälscht hast.

    Zum "an Uran lecken":
    In der Zerfallsreihe entsteht mitnichten nur leicht abschirmbare
    #Alphastrahlung. Auch die #Spaltprodukte zerfallen auch mitunter mit Betazerfällen, also #Betastrahlung.
    #Gammastrahlung tritt als Begleiterscheinung auf.

    In den
    #Zerfallsreihen entstehen auch #Plutonium #Isotope

    Also ganz ungefährlich das
    #Uran und seine Spalt- und Zerfallsprodukte.

    Und Paracelsus: Ja. Nutzt denen in der Nähe aber dann nix, wenn, wahrscheinlich lange Zeit unbemerkt, massiv radioaktive Stoffe aus dem Atommülllager in deren Trinkwasser eingetragen werden.

    Du bist schlicht Atomlobbyist, vermutlich sogar beruflich in einer Interessensbranche tätig, der, so wie
    #Klimawandelleugner auch, tatsächlich glaubt, er sitzt in einem anderen Boot, wenn es zum #GAU kommt.
