Oxygen Isotope Studies on Sea Ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence
The fractionation of oxygen isotopes between sea ice and sea water in samples collected from the Gulf of St. Lawrence indicated that sea ice is enriched in its O 18 :O 16 ratio with respect to coexisting sea water. Sources of sea ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence may be identified on the basis of O 18...

| Summary: | The fractionation of oxygen isotopes between sea ice and sea water in samples collected from the Gulf of St. Lawrence indicated that sea ice is enriched in its O 18 :O 16 ratio with respect to coexisting sea water. Sources of sea ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence may be identified on the basis of O 18 :O 16 measurements. |
