Christophe and Hannah headed to Paris last month.

As part of ongoing work with Dr Marie Balasse and Mélanie Fabre from the Muséum national d’historie naturelle, Christophe and Hannah headed to Paris last month to discuss all the data generated for the project!

We now have grass, shrub and tree ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr data for 55 sampling sites to add to 71 sites with paired plant and soil data. We see an interesting spatial patterning of strontium ratios across island, with the highest values (up to ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr = 0.7168) in the southwest and lowest in the north (down to ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr = 0.7075).
