Triple oxygen isotope values of quartz

d17O_qz() calculates the equilibrium d18O, d17O, and D17O values of quartz grown at a given temperature.

Usage

d17O_qz(temp, d18O_H2O_VSMOW, D17O_H2O = 0, lambda = 0.528)

Arguments

temp

Quartz growth temperature (°C).

d18O_H2O_VSMOW

Water d18O value expressed on the VSMOW scale (‰).

D17O_H2O

D17O value of ambient water calculated using a lambda of 0.528. Default 0.

lambda

Triple oxygen isotope reference slope. Default 0.528.

Value

Returns a data frame:

1. d18O value of the quartz expressed on the VSMOW scale (‰).

2. d17O value of the quartz expressed on the VSMOW scale (‰).

3. D17O value of the quartz expressed on the VSMOW scale (‰).

Details

$$\theta_{A/B} = \frac{\alpha^{17}_{A/B}}{\alpha^{18}_{A/B}}$$

$$ \delta'^{17}O_{H2O,VSMOW} = \beta \times \delta'^{18}O_{H2O,VSMOW} + \gamma \textrm{ , where } \beta=0.528 \textrm{ and } \gamma = 0 $$

$$\Delta^{17}O_{SiO2,VSMOW} = \delta'^{17}O_{SiO2,VSMOW} - \lambda \times \delta'^{18}O_{SiO2,VSMOW} $$

NOTE:

$$\theta_{quartz/water} = -\frac{1.85}{T} + 0.5305$$

$$\alpha^{18}_{quartz/water} = e^{(\frac{4280}{T^{2}} - \frac{3.5}{T})}$$
