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.

Hydrograph separation of the amazon river using 18o as an isotopic tracer

TL;DR: In this article, the 18O content of rain and river waters was used as an isotopic tracer in order to carry out the hydrograph separation of the Amazon river, during the 1973-1974 hydrological years, and to estimate the contributions of the surface runoff (event water) and baseflow (pre event water) components to the total river flow.

Theoretical and Experimental Principles

TL;DR: Isotopes are atoms whose nuclei contain the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons as mentioned in this paper, and the term is derived from Greek (meaning equal places) and indicates that isotopes occupy the same position in the periodic table.

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.

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.
