Oxygen isotope ratios of chironomids, aquatic macrophytes and ostracods for lake-water isotopic reconstructions - Results of a calibration study in Patagonia
Oxygen stable isotopes (δ18O) of biogenic sedimentary components from lake sediment archives, such as ostracod valves, are frequently used for palaeoclimatic reconstructions. However, the effects of host water isotope changes, temperature-dependent fractionations, and vital effects on the isotopic r...
