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

Palynological and oxygen isotope investigations on Late-Glacial sediment cores from Swiss lakes
TL;DR: In this paper, detailed pollen and 18O/16O studies on two sediment profiles from small Swiss lakes are reported, showing that the isotope ratio in rain and snow is correlated to temperature.

Oxygen isotope fractionations involving pyroxenes: The calibration of mineral-pair geothermometers
TL;DR: In this paper, a coherent set of mineral-pair fractionations satisfactorily represented by straight lines through the origin on a conventional graph of In /ga versus T−2 were obtained.

Isotopic Equilibrium between Shells and Their Environment
W. G. Mook,J. C. Vogel +1 more
TL;DR: The carbon-isotopic composition of shell carbonate is shown to be in isotopic equilibrium with bicarbonate dissolved in the water, and a mean growth temperature can be deduced.

The role of soil water in stormflow generation in a forested headwater catchment: synthesis of natural tracer and hydrometric evidence
TL;DR: In this article, the authors combined natural tracer methods and hydrometric observations to estimate the contribution of pre-event (vadose) soil water to stormflow in a small forested headwater catchment in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia.

An oxygen isotopic profile through the upper kilometer of the oceanic crust, DSDP hole 504B
TL;DR: The DSD Hole 504B is the deepest basement hole in the oceanic crust, penetrating through a 571.5 m pillow section, a 209 m lithologic transition zone, and 295 m into a sheeted dike complex.

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.
