important additional source of palaeoceanographic information in regions depleted in …

Taphonomic issues pose fundamental challenges for Quaternary scientists to recover
environmental signals from biological proxies and make accurate inferences of past …

Several techniques have been introduced in the last decades for the dehydration and
release of O2 from biogenic silica (opal-A) for oxygen-isotope analysis. However, only one …

Despite a growing body of work that uses diatom δ30Si to reconstruct past changes in silicic
acid utilisation, few studies have focused on calibrating core top data with modern …

Determining the response of sites within the Arctic Circle to long-term climatic change
remains an essential pre-requisite for assessing the susceptibility of these regions to future …

The oxygen isotope composition of diatom silica (δ18Odiatom) from marine and lake
sediments is helpful for the interpretation of the past climate and environments, especially …

Especially in combination with other proxies, the oxygen isotope composition of diatom silica
(δ 18 O diatom) from lake sediments is useful for interpreting past climate conditions. This …

The oxygen isotope ratios of diatoms (δ 18 O diatom), and the oxygen and hydrogen isotope
ratios of lake water (δW) of lakes in south Alaska provide insight into past changes in …

The determination of the oxygen isotope composition of diatom silica in sediment cores is
important for paleoclimate reconstruction, especially in non‐carbonate sediments, where no …

Mineral particles and other contaminants cause a serious and undesirable shift in δ18O
values of biogenic silica and should be removed prior to isotope analysis. This problem is …
