Combined oxygen and silicon isotope analysis of diatom silica from a deglacial subarctic Pacific record
ABSTRACT We present an SiF 4 separation line, coupled to a laser fluorination system, which allows for an efficient combined silica δ 18 O and δ 30 Si analysis (50 min per sample). The required sample weight of 1.5–2.0 mg allows for high‐resolution isotope studies on biogenic opal. Besides analytica...
