Case Studies

Projects and Research Lines

This page presents projects and lines of work where SPICe Lab contributes with isotopic and trace element data. You can adapt and expand these examples as new collaborations and results emerge.

Sea Level and Climate Reconstruction with Corals

High-precision U–Th dating and trace element analysis of fossil corals are used to reconstruct sea-level changes and climate variability during key Quaternary intervals.

Methods: U–Th geochronology, trace elements by LA-ICP-MS, age-depth modeling.

Isotopic Tools for Sustainable Agriculture

Environmental isotopes and trace elements are applied to understand water and nutrient pathways in agricultural basins, supporting improved management practices.

Methods: Water and soil isotopes, trace element geochemistry.

Lithium and Critical Resources in the South Pacific Region

Geochemical characterization of brines, rocks, and process streams supports the exploration and monitoring of lithium and other critical resources.

Methods: Solution and solid-phase analysis, quality control protocols.

Future Projects

As SPICe Lab grows, this section will include detailed project pages, links to publications, and outreach summaries.
