Standard for Reporting Concentrations of Deuterium and Oxygen-18 in Natural Waters.
TLDR
A standard, based on the set of ocean water samples used by Epstein and Mayeda to obtain a reference standard for oxygen-18 data, but defined relative to the National Bureau of Standards isotopic reference water sample, is proposed for reporting both deuterium and oxygen- 18 variations in natural watersrelative to the same water.Abstract:
A standard, based on the set of ocean water samples used by Epstein and Mayeda to obtain a reference standard for oxygen-18 data, but defined relative to the National Bureau of Standards isotopic reference water sample, is proposed for reporting both deuterium and oxygen-18 variations in natural waters relative to the same water. The range of absolute concentrations of both isotopes in meteoric-waters is discussed.read more

Glacial meltwater input to the Alaska Coastal Current: Evidence from oxygen isotope measurements
TL;DR: In this article, a study of the oxygen isotopic composition of coastal, pelagic, and fresh waters from the northern Gulf of Alaska region is presented, which suggests that in late summer, glacial meltwater may provide a substantial portion of the total freshwater runoff into the Alaska Coastal Current (ACC).

Dissecting an active hydrothermal deposit: the strontium and oxygen isotopic anatomy of the TAG hydrothermal mound - anhydrite
TL;DR: Anhydrite is present as a cement in disseminated sulfide breccias and in complex, multigeneration veins, up to 45 cm wide, at the upper levels of the TAG mound as mentioned in this paper.

Oxygen isotopic compositions of quartz in the sand seas and sandy lands of northern China and their implications for understanding the provenances of aeolian sands
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined oxygen isotopic compositions of quartz in sand samples taken from Taklamakan and Badain Jaran deserts of northwestern China and from the Hunshandake and Hulunbeier sandy lands in northeastern China.

Snow stratigraphy and oxygen isotope variations in the glaciological pit of King Baudouin station, Queen Maud Land, Antarctica
TL;DR: In this paper, O18/O16 ratios have been measured along a firn profile extending from the surface to a depth of 16 meters in the shelf ice of King Baudouin station (East Antarctica, 70°26′S, 24°19′E).

Oxygen and hydrogen isotopic water characteristics of the Aral Sea, Central Asia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used oxygen and deuterium isotope composition of the lake water collected at different depths during spring and autumn from 2004 to 2006 to trace the source of the Aral Sea water and understand the internal dynamics.

Isotopic Variations in Meteoric Waters
TL;DR: The relationship between deuterium and oxygen-18 concentrations in natural meteoric waters from many parts of the world has been determined with a mass spectrometer and shows a linear correlation over the entire range for waters which have not undergone excessive evaporation.

Isotopic standards for carbon and oxygen and correction factors for mass-spectrometric analysis of carbon dioxide
TL;DR: 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.

Variation of O18 content of waters from natural sources
S Epstein,Toshiko K. Mayeda +1 more
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.

Effect of Low Concentrations of Carbon Dioxide on Photosynthesis Rates of Two Races of Oxyria.
TL;DR: Alpine plants of Oxyria digyna have higher apparent photosynthesis rates at various carbon dioxide concentrations than arctic, sea-level plants of the same species, which may be involved in the survival of plants at high elevations.
