Projects & Research Highlights
This page showcases selected projects and research lines where SPICe Lab contributes isotope and trace-element data. You can adapt and expand these examples as new collaborations and results emerge.
Reconstructing past sea-level and climate with corals
High-precision U–Th dating and trace-element analyses of fossil corals are used to reconstruct sea-level change and climate variability during key intervals of the Quaternary.
Methods: U–Th geochronology, LA-ICP-MS trace elements, age–depth models.
Isotopic tools for sustainable agriculture
Environmental isotopes and trace elements are applied to understand water and nutrient pathways in agricultural catchments, supporting better management practices.
Methods: isotopes in water and soils, trace-element geochemistry.
Lithium and critical raw materials in the South Pacific region
Geochemical characterisation of brines, rocks and process streams supports exploration and monitoring of lithium and other critical resources.
Methods: solution and solid-phase analyses, QA/QC protocols.
Future projects
As SPICe Lab grows, this section can include more detailed project pages, links to publications and summaries for non-specialist audiences.
