An experiment to assess the effects of diatom dissolution on oxygen isotope ratios

RATIONALE. Current studies which use the oxygen isotope composition from diatom silica (δ18O diatom) as a palaeoclimate proxy assume that the δ18O diatom value reflects the isotopic composition of the water in which the diatom formed. However, diatoms dissolve post mortem, preferentially losing less...
