Editing Final Report/Thesis 2018 (section)

===Aim===
The aim of this task is to identify the different isotopes present in several different people’s hair. More specifically the element of concern is strontium. Adelaide has high levels in strontium in the soil compared to the rest of Australia. With this knowledge, the task is to test various hair samples, which have left Adelaide, within the past month and compare it to that of hair samples that have not left Adelaide for at least a year, to see how the strontium values change. This will then be compared with the strontium levels in the Somerton Man’s hair, which can determine how long he was in Adelaide before his death. The ICP-MS, is the approach to determine the different isotopes within the hair, which will then return a spectral analysis of the hair. The spectral analysis will be completed by laser ablation of the hair, where the hair will be ablated with a laser and the spectral elements are recorded.
