CARBON ISOTOPES

Scientists have mapped how carbon isotopes behave in lakes and rivers worldwide, revealing surprising patterns tied to location and climate. By analyzing thousands of water samples from nearly 2, 000 spots, they found that tropical waters tend to show heavier carbon signatures, while cooler regions

Scientists have uncovered new data from the Upper Doushantuo Formation in South China that sheds light on a significant event known as the Shuram Excursion. This event, marked by a steep drop in carbon isotopes, is one of the largest in geological history. But until now, its exact age has been a mys
