In this dissertation, I use isotopes of H, O and Sr to trace interaction between meteoric waters, seawater and rocks in modern and extinct areas of high-temperature hydrothermal alteration. The ancient hydrothermal systems are used here as a tool to investigating paleoclimate, paleogeography, and th...
