Speleothems are primarily studied in order to generate archives of climatic change and
results have led to significant advances in identifying and dating major shifts in the climate …

Determination of accurate temperatures for geological events has been the grail of stable
isotope geochemistry since the seminal 1947 paper by Urey. In theory, this should be …

The first experiments in mass spectrometry led to the discovery of stable isotopes. Yet at any
mass spectrometry conference today, papers on stable isotopes are often relegated to the …

A technique is described whereby the δ13C and δ18O values of fossil tooth enamel can be
measured in situ using laser ablation techniques. The laser heats the sample and forms …

Methods of evaluating possible sources and interactions of ancient and modern fluids are
being significantly improved by the development of new isotopic and geochemical …

Chemical and isotopic variability exists on many different scales in geological materials.
From the regional to hand-sample to micrometer scale, different tools have been developed …

In situ laser extraction techniques have been developed for determining the stable isotope
ratios in carbonates, silicates, oxides and sulfides with high spatial resolution. All of these …

Three different techniques are currently in use to microsample speleothem (and tufa)
specimens at moderate to high spatial resolution, manual microdrilling using a dentist drill …

A new online method to analyse water isotopes of speleothem fluid inclusions using a
wavelength scanned cavity ring down spectroscopy (WS-CRDS) instrument is presented …
