Authors: Shaun T. Lancaster, Johanna Irrgeher, Remi Dallmayr, Elisa Conrad, Maria Horhold, Pascal Bohleber, Melanie Behrens, Federica Camin, Klara Žagar, Polona Vreča, Thomas Prohaska

The study presents an important advancement in analytical methods for determining stable oxygen isotopes (¹⁸O/¹⁶O) in water using inductively coupled plasma tandem mass spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS). These results open new possibilities for more reliable analyses in hydrological and environmental research.

Publication in Analytical Chemistry, one of the leading journals in the field, underscores the high-quality scientific work of our researchers and the success of strong international collaboration.
