The past decade has seen a remarkable expansion of studies that use mass-dependent
variations of triple oxygen isotopes (16 O, 17 O, 18 O) in isotope hydrology and isotope …

Glacial–interglacial cycles are global climatic changes which have characterized the last 3
million years. The eight latest glacial–interglacial cycles represent changes in sea level over …

Geological evidence indicates that grounded ice sheets reached sea level at all latitudes
during two long-lived Cryogenian (58 and≥ 5 My) glaciations. Combined uranium-lead and …

The nine editions of Stable Isotope Geochemistry have appeared over a time span of nearly
50 years. The first edition (1973) appeared as a slim book of 135 pages. Due to the rapid …

RATIONALE: The precise determination of Δ'17O values in terrestrial material is becoming
increasingly important to understand the mass-dependent fractionation processes that …

The analysis of hydrogen (δD) and oxygen (δ18O) isotope ratios of H2O are widely used
tools for studies of the hydrological cycle (Friedman 1953; Dansgaard 1954; Gonfiantini …

This Chapter considers triple oxygen isotope variations and their 4 Gyr temporal evolution in
bulk siliciclastic sedimentary rocks and in granites. The d18O and∆′ 17O values provide …

The element oxygen has three stable isotopes: 16O, 17O, and 18O. For a defined process, a
change in 18O/16O scales with the corresponding change in 17O/16O, or the fractionation …

High precision triple oxygen isotope measurements of carbonates can better constrain
temperatures and oxygen isotope compositions of seawater through geologic time than 18 …

Accurate and precise Δʹ 17 O data are important for quantifying and understanding
processes responsible for variations of oxygen triple-isotope ratios in nature. Without …
