Isoscapes

Isoscapes are spatially explicit predictions of elemental isotope ratios (δ) that are produced by executing process-level models of elemental isotope fractionation or distribution in a Geographic Information System (GIS). The word isoscape is derived from isotope landscape and was first coined by Dr Jason B. West. [cite web|title=First appearance of "isoscapes" at a scientific meeting|url=http://abstracts.co.allenpress.com/pweb/esa2005/document/50507] [cite web|title=Peer-reviewed article that discusses isoscapes (vol. 21, iss. 7, pg. 408)|url=http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/01695347] Isoscapes of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and strontium have been used to answer scientific or forensic questions regarding the sources, partitioning, or provenance of natural and manmade materials or organisms.
