Identification of Ajnala skeletal remains using multiple forensic anthropological methods and techniques: a bioarchaeological report. (2020)
Journal Article
SEHRAWAT, J.S., RAI, N. and MEIER-AUGENSTEIN, W. 2020. Identification of Ajnala skeletal remains using multiple forensic anthropological methods and techniques: a bioarchaeological report. Journal of archaelogical science: reports [online], 32, article ID 102434. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jasrep.2020.102434

Fragmented and badly damaged commingled human remains present a tough challenge for their identification pursuits in forensic anthropology. Thousands of unknown human remains along with items of contextual identity, reportedly belonging to 282 Indian...

Spatial variability of 2H and 18O composition of meteoric freshwater lakes in Scotland. (2019)
Journal Article
HOOGEWERFF, J., KEMP, H.F., LENG, M.J. and MEIER-AUGENSTEIN, W. 2019. Spatial variability of 2H and 18O composition of meteoric freshwater lakes in Scotland. Isotopes in environmental and health studies [online], 55(3), pages 237-253. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1080/10256016.2019.1609958

Coastal regions, and in particular islands where precipitation from clouds formed out at sea occurs for the first time, are prime candidates for regions where 2H and 18O composition of precipitation will deviate significantly from the global mean geo...

From stable isotope ecology to forensic isotope ecology: isotopes' tales. (2019)
Journal Article
MEIER-AUGENSTEIN, W. 2019. From stable isotope ecology to forensic isotope ecology: isotopes' tales. Forensic science international [online], 300, pages 89-98. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.forsciint.2019.04.023

Stable isotope ecology and forensic isotope ecology are not only linked by name. More often than not, knowledge and insights gained through the former serve as a springboard for application focused work of the latter. This review aims to offer a glim...

A guide for proper utilisation of stable isotope reference materials. (2018)
Journal Article
MEIER-AUGENSTEIN, W. and SCHIMMELMANN, A. 2019. A guide for proper utilisation of stable isotope reference materials. Isotopes in environmental and health studies [online], 55(2), pages 113-128. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1080/10256016.2018.1538137

Many scientific publications about stable isotope ratios suffer from flawed practices regarding calibration and normalisation of raw δ values in conjunction with prescribed δ values of reference materials. Violations of the Identical Treatment princi... Read More about A guide for proper utilisation of stable isotope reference materials..

Journal Article
MINET, E.P., GOODHUE, R., MEIER-AUGENSTEIN, W., KALIN, R.M., FENTON, O., RICHARDS, K.G. and COXON, C.E. 2017. Combining stable isotopes with contamination indicators: A method for improved investigation of nitrate sources and dynamics in aquifers with mixed nitrogen inputs. Water research [online], 124, pages 85-96. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2017.07.041

Excessive nitrate (NO3−) concentration in groundwater raises health and environmental issues that must be addressed by all European Union (EU) member states under the Nitrates Directive and the Water Framework Directive. The identification of NO3− so...
