Overview

Research develops a methodology for measuring δ18O in tree rings, suggesting enhanced accuracy for hydroclimate studies.

Key Points

  • Established methodology yields average precision of approximately 0.2 ‰ for δ18O measurements.
  • Calibration challenges noted with non-cellulose reference materials, affecting accuracy of δ18O values.
  • Successful analysis positioned cellulose standards accurately on the VSMOW-SLAP scale.
  • Results indicate potential for improved tree-ring δ18O determinations, informing hydroclimate reconstructions.
