In 2002, oxygen isotope ratios of water (H2 18O/H2 16O), dissolved barium, and salinity were measured in surface waters around northern North America to identify freshwater sources and to provide a large-scale background for interpretation of regional inputs and processes. Oxygen isotope ratios show...
