Natural Earth system processes and human activities lead to spatial, temporal, and process-related variation in the distribution of stable isotopes in a wide range of materials that, if we can document or predict them, provide a basis for geospatial forensics. Dr. Gabriel Bowen will discuss several model systems where isotope distributions in environmental and biological systems offer signficant potential to constrain the origin of evidentiary materials. Dr. Gabriel Bowen will introduce introduce the theory underlying isotope distribution in these systems with an emphasis on models that allow quantitative prediction and comparison with data from forensic samples, and will offer case studies illustrating early adoption of these methods in real-world forensic applications.
