A new online technique for the simultaneous measurement of the δ13C value of dissolved inorganic carbon and the δ18O value of water from a single solution sample using continuous‐flow isotope ratio mass spectrometry

RATIONALE: The oxygen isotope study of water reservoirs (δ(18)OH2O values) and the carbon isotope study of dissolved inorganic carbon (δ(13)CDIC values) are powerful tools to decipher Earth's past and present environmental changes. This study presents a novel online analytical technique, namely the DIC evolved CO2 Gas Equilibration Method (DIC-CO2-GEM), in which the δ(18)OH2O and δ(13)CDIC values can be simultaneously determined from a single …
