Misha lived her whole life in zoos, but this elephant's teeth are now helping scientists reconstruct wildlife migrations. Geologists show how strontium isotopes found in teeth or tusks reveal where ...
Archaeologists at UC Santa Cruz used predictive modeling to map strontium isotope ratios across all of modern-day Angola, a region in Southwest Africa that was once a major hub for the transatlantic ...
A team of researchers led by UC Santa Cruz recently released a sophisticated new map that reveals, for the first time, the unique “geologic fingerprints” for most of the African continent. The map ...
Scientists have created a groundbreaking map of strontium isotopes found across sub-Saharan Africa—which could help descendants of enslaved people reconstruct their family histories. Strontium is an ...
A team of researchers has mapped predicted bioavailable strontium isotope ratios across all of Sub-Saharan Africa. Archaeologists, conservation scientists, and forensics experts will now be able to ...
UC Santa Cruz Anthropology Professor Vicky Oelze prepares samples for a strontium isotope analysis. Postdoctoral fellow Xueye Wang and UCSC graduate and undergraduate students processed hundreds of ...
