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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed and synthesized key advances accomplished in modeling surface evaporation, condensation, supersaturation, postcondensation processes, vertical distribution of water isotopes, and spatial δ(18)O-temperature slope and utilizing spectral nudging technique.

Oxygen and hydrogen isotope study of minerals from metapelitic rocks, staurolite to sillimanite zones, Mica Creek, British Columbia

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors made a comparison between the results of /sup 18/O and delta D values of coexisting quartz, ilmenite, muscovite and biotite from Late Precambrian metapelitic rocks, staurolite-kyanite to K-feldspar-muscovites-sillimanite zones, from Mica Creek, British Columbia.

Geochemical signature of aquitard pore water and its paleo-environment implications in Caofeidian Harbor, China

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper found that aquitard pore water was of meteoric origin and was basically not influenced by evaporation, according to the δ18O profile and positive correlation between deuterium and Cl−.

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.

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.
