Overview

Vincent Balter is affiliated with the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon in France. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science, with 34 publications in this field. Within environmental science, their work extensively covers subfields such as ecology, paleontology, anthropology, archeology, and nutrition and dietetics.

The main topics addressed in Balter's research include:

  • Isotope Analysis in Ecology
  • Pleistocene-Era Hominins and Archaeology
  • Forensic Anthropology and Bioarchaeology Studies
  • Archaeology and ancient environmental studies
  • Trace Elements in Health
  • Evolution and Paleontology Studies
  • Radioactive contamination and transfer

Balter has coauthored numerous research papers with frequent collaborators including Emmanuelle Albalat, Jeremy E. Martin, Philippe Télouk, Théo Tacail, and Auguste Hassler. Their collaborative network highlights strong connections within archaeology, geochemistry, and ecological research domains.

They have published regularly in venues such as the Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry, Goldschmidt conference abstracts (2021 and 2022 editions), Bulletins et Mémoires de la Société d'anthropologie de Paris, and the journal Metallomics. These publication venues indicate a concentration on analytical techniques related to isotopic and elemental analysis alongside archaeological and anthropological studies.

Among their recent papers are:

  • Extensive pedigrees reveal the social organization of a Neolithic community (2023, Nature)
  • Monthly mobility inferred from isoscapes and laser ablation strontium isotope ratios in caprine tooth enamel (2021, Scientific Reports)
  • The mouse metallomic landscape of aging and metabolism (2022, Nature Communications)
  • Calcium isotopic ecology of Turkana Basin hominins (2020, Nature Communications)
  • Inter-comparison of stable iron, copper and zinc isotopic compositions in six reference materials of biological origin (2020, Talanta)

The diversity of these papers reflects an interdisciplinary interest spanning from ancient social structures and mobility patterns of animals to metallomic processes involved in aging and metabolism, integrating methods from isotope chemistry, ecological modeling, and bioarchaeology.
