Abrupt Geographic Shift in Hydrogen Isotope Ratios of Meteoric Water Across the Western Andes, Peru

Abstract Quantitative isotopic paleoaltimetry has been applied in regions where Rayleigh distillation controls isotopic lapse rates. Air mass mixing and moisture recycling are viewed as complicating factors. We show here that, because of such effects, a cross‐Andean transect of meteoric water δD val...
