Technical note: Unresolved aspects of the direct vapor equilibration method for stable isotope analysis (δ18O, δ2H) of matrix-bound water: unifying protocols through empirical and mathematical scrutiny [PDF]
The direct vapor equilibration laser spectrometry (DVE-LS) method has been developed for obtaining matrix-bound water stable isotope data in soils, the critical zone, and bedrock, deriving therefrom subsurface water flow and transport processes and ...

Comparing Continental Carbonates with Other Materials in Dating a Paleolake [PDF]
We have studied the application of carbonates and organic matter to the radiocarbon dating of a paleolake. The results show a systematic apparent age shift of these materials with respect to contemporary wood. The apparent age of carbonates is evidently due to the hard-water effect, whereas the apparent age of organic matter, systematically younger ...
