Watch Beta’s Webinar: Tracing Sources of Anthropogenic Pollution

Webinar Focus

• Nutrient contamination in natural environments
  – Point source vs non-point source pollution
  – Importance of source tracking for managing the nutrient input
  – Isotopes as tracers
• Nutrient source tracking using isotopes – nitrogen (δ15N) & oxygen (δ18O)
• Boron in the environment: anthropogenic causes and negative implications

Dr. Pauly will also talk about the results you can expect from measuring these isotopes and the lab’s sample preparation and submission process.

About the Speaker

Dr. Maren Pauly is a Scientific Associate at Beta Analytic and Isobar Science. She is a paleoclimatologist who completed her Master of Science and Bachelor of Science degrees at the University of Waterloo in Canada and her PhD at the Freie Universität Berlin. Her research experience includes reconstructing climate from modern corals and subfossil tree-rings as well as Late Glacial radiocarbon calibration.

Beta Analytic & Isobar Science

Miami-based Beta Analytic is an ISO 17025-accredited radiocarbon dating laboratory, which also provides nitrate source tracking. Isobar Science offers boron isotopic analysis as well as Uranium-Thorium dating, strontium analysis and geochemical fingerprinting services.

During the 2021 the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting held in New Orleans, Louisiana, Isobar Science’s Vice President of Lab Operations Dr. Arash Sharifi presented a research, which characterized South Florida’s surface waters and tracked the nutrient pollution sources.
