Triple Oxygen Isotopes in Carbonates, Biological Apatites, and Continental Paleoclimate Reconstruction

Explore the intricacies of triple oxygen isotopes in carbonates, biological apatites, and their application in continental paleoclimate reconstruction in this 33-minute conference talk. Presented by Benjamin Passey and Naomi Levin as part of the Mineralogical Society of America's Short Course on Triple Oxygen Isotope Geochemistry, delve into topics such as Delta 18 climate signals, evaporative modification, closed basin lakes, gypsum hydration waters, and soil analysis. Examine case studies including the Eocene Green River Basin and learn about end-member physiologies in animals. Investigate aridity gradients and their implications for paleoclimate studies. Gain valuable insights into the latest research and methodologies in this specialized field of geochemistry.
