Carbonate minerals contain stable isotopes of carbon and oxygen with different masses
whose abundances and bond arrangement are governed by thermodynamics. The clumped …

Carbonate clumped isotope thermometry is a relatively new paleotemperature proxy based
on measurements of the degree of ordering of 13C and 18O into bonds with each other …

Salinity is a fundamental property of watermasses that is useful in paleoenvironmental and
paleoecological studies, yet the theory of application of geochemical proxies to paleosalinity …

Increased use and improved methodology of carbonate clumped isotope thermometry has
greatly enhanced our ability to interrogate a suite of Earth‐system processes. However …

About a decade after its introduction, the field of carbonate clumped isotope thermometry is
rapidly expanding because of the large number of possible applications and its potential to …

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 …

Stable carbon and oxygen isotopes (δ18O and δ13C values) and trace elements have been
applied to the study of diagenesis of carbonate rocks for over 50 years. As valuable as these …

Conventional carbonate–water oxygen isotope thermometry and the more recently
developed clumped isotope thermometer have been widely used for the reconstruction of …

The porosity and permeability of sandstone and carbonate reservoirs (known as reservoir
quality) are essential inputs for successful oil and gas resource exploration and exploitation …

Carbonate clumped isotope thermometry is based on the preference of 13C and 18O to form
bonds with each other. At elevated temperatures such bond ordering is susceptible to …
