Përmbledhja	Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) is an analytical technique that measures the relative abundance of stable isotopes (H, C, N, O, S) and some radiogenic isotopes (e.g., ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) in samples with high precision. Standardized by Coplen and colleagues, IRMS enables paleoclimate reconstruction, source tracing (diet, water origin), geochemical fingerprinting, and age dating through radiogenic isotopes.	The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) is a climate index that quantifies precipitation anomalies relative to historical norms, standardized to account for differences in precipitation climatology across regions. Introduced by McKee, Doesken, and Kleist in 1993, SPI has become a primary tool for drought detection and characterization, adopted by meteorological agencies worldwide for operational drought monitoring and early warning systems.
