TLDR
In this paper, Niee's and Solenhofen standards were compared to the Chicago PDB standard for carbon and oxygen isotope ratios, and the correction factors for instrumental effects and for the nature of the mass spectra were derived.

Environmental and physiological determinants of carbon isotope discrimination in terrestrial plants

TL;DR: The effective use of Δ across its full range of applications will require a holistic view of the interplay between environmental control and physiological modulation of the environmental signal.

Lake Qinghai, China: closed-basin like levels and the oxygen isotope record for ostracoda since the latest Pleistocene

TL;DR: In 1985, a Sino-Swiss limnogeological expedition to China's largest inland lake recovered seismic profiles and piston cores to help calibrate palaeoclimatic models of monsoon and insolation fluctuations over the northern Tibet-Qinghai Plateau since the Last Glacial Maximum as discussed by the authors.

Isotope-ratio-monitoring gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

TL;DR: In this article, a method for identification and quantification of bile acid epimers is described, which provides an efficient alternative to the rather nonspecific identification and assay procedures by conventional techniques.

Oxygen isotope behavior in the sulfate-water system

TL;DR: In this paper, the oxygen isotope behavior in the sulfate-water system is studied. But the relationship between sulfate ion exchange rates and water is not discussed. But it is shown that sulfate reducing bacteria preferentially metabolize oxygen-16 relative to dissolved sulfate by about 4.6% in both pure and natural cultures.

On the Isotopic Chemistry of Carbonates and a Paleotemperature Scale

TL;DR: In this paper, the temperature variation of the fractionation of oxygen in exchange reactions between dissolved carbonate and water and between calcite and water was calculated on theoretical grounds, and checked experimentally.

Variation of O18 content of waters from natural sources

TL;DR: A number of marine water and fresh water samples were examined for the relative O18O16 ratio, and the variation of this ratio was determined to a precision of ± 1% as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Revised carbonate-water isotopic temperature scale

TL;DR: The relationship between temperature and O(18) content relative to that for a Cretaceous belemnite of the Pee Dee formation previously reported (Epstein, Buchsbaum, Lowenstam, and Urey, 1951) has been re-determined using modified procedures for removing organic matter from shells, and is found to be 16.5 - 4.3 δ + 0.14 δ^2

The geochemistry of the stable carbon isotopes

TL;DR: A survey of the variation of the ratio C13/C12 in nature can be found in this paper, where Urey and his co-workers used two complete feed systems with magnetic switching to determine small differences in isotope ratios between samples and a standard gas.
