A universal carbonate ion effect on stable oxygen isotope ratios in unicellular planktonic calcifying organisms
The oxygen isotopic composition (&delta;<sup>18</sup>O) of calcium carbonate of planktonic calcifying organisms is a key tool for reconstructing both past seawater temperature and salinity. The calibration of paloeceanographic proxies relies in general on empirica...
