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 …

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 …

The Colorado plateau is a large, tectonically intact, physiographic province in the
southwestern North American Cordillera that stands at∼ 1,800–2,000 m elevation and has …

RATIONALE Carbonate clumped isotope thermometry is a powerful new technique
increasingly used in many fields in earth science. Recently, it has been shown that clumped …

An improved understanding of the elevation history of the Tibetan Plateau is crucial in
discriminating among the various tectonic models for the evolution of the India–Asia …

Accurate constraints on past ocean temperatures and compositions are critical for
documenting climate change and resolving its causes. Most proxies for temperature are not …

A growing number of materials and environmental settings are studied using the carbonate
clumped isotope (Δ 47) thermometer. The method has been applied in both biogenic and …

The correspondence between seismic velocity anomalies in the crust and mantle and the
differential incision of the continental-scale Colorado River system suggests that significant …
