Below is a list of some recent publications by users and board members of the ESCSIS facility.  Much of the data that has been collected here are still in the "in press" stage (ok, more like, "we're writing it"), so published work on related projects are listed as well.  The work that is done here can also be a part of  a larger collaborative effort, and we may only list a small part of the whole effort--namely the work that directly involves stable isotopes.  Please look up the papers and/or follow the links "for the rest of the story".
