Sr isotope analysis of bird feathers by TIMS: a tool to trace bird migration paths and breeding sites (2007)
Journal Article
Font, L., Nowell, G., Pearson, D., Ottley, C., & Willis, S. (2007). Sr isotope analysis of bird feathers by TIMS: a tool to trace bird migration paths and breeding sites. Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry, 22(5), 513 - 522. https://doi.org/10.1039/b616328a

Here we present a methodology to analyse 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios in bird feathers with very low Sr concentration using ultra-low blank ion-exchange chemistry combined with thermal ionisation mass spectrometry. For this study, Sedge Warbler (Acroceph... Read More about Sr isotope analysis of bird feathers by TIMS: a tool to trace bird migration paths and breeding sites.

Mineral-scale Sr isotope variation in plutonic rocks – a tool for unraveling the evolution of magma systems (2006)
Journal Article
Davidson, J., Font, L., Charlier, B., & Tepley, F. I. (2006). Mineral-scale Sr isotope variation in plutonic rocks – a tool for unraveling the evolution of magma systems. Transactions. Earth sciences, 97(4), 357-367. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0263593300001504

Isotope ratios of elements such as Sr, Nd, Pb and Hf can be used as tracers of magmatic sources and processes. Analytical capabilities have evolved so that isotope ratios can now be analysed in situ, and isotopic tracers can therefore be used within...
