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.

Isotopic perspectives on pastoralist mobility in the Late Bronze Age South Caucasus

TL;DR: In this article, Radiogenic strontium and mass-dependent oxygen and carbon isotope analysis on a large sample of herd animals (sheep, goats, and cattle) from Late Bronze Age (1500-1100 BC) sites in the Tsaghkahovit Plain, Armenia indicate that long-distance movements across geological zones were not common, but that animals were drinking from a range of water sources.

Dickite in shallow oil reservoirs from Recôncavo Basin, Brazil: diagenetic implications for basin evolution

TL;DR: In this article, the authors detected the presence of vermicular dickite, a clay mineral indicative of deep burial conditions (T >100oC), in the shallow Buracica (630-870 m) and Agua Grande (1300-1530 m) oilfields.

Quantifying the Stable Water Isotopologue Exchange Between the Snow Surface and Lower Atmosphere by Direct Flux Measurements

TL;DR: In this paper, a record of stable water isotopologue surface fluxes measured in-situ in the accumulation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet at the East Greenland Ice Core Project site is presented.

Distribution of gold in altered basalts of DSDP hole 504B

TL;DR: The only hole in the DSDP program that intersected both pillow and dike basaltic units and greenschist-facies alteration zones was hole 504B as discussed by the authors, where the initial, primary gold content of basalts of the core is believed to have been relatively uniform and between 0.5 and 1.0

Groundwater salinization in shallow aquifers adjacent to a low-altitude inland salt lake: a case study at Yuncheng Basin, northern China

TL;DR: In this article, the main geochemical processes controlling the salinization of shallow groundwater adjacent to an inland salt lake in the Yuncheng Basin were investigated. But the results were limited to the northern shore of the lake.

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

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.
