1. Exploring the physiological variables of oxygen isotope composition in chondrychthyan teeth
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för organismbiologi; Uppsala universitet/EvolutionsbiologiAbstract : Since the discoveries of vertebrate bioapatite’s ability to record oxygen isotopecomposition of ambient seawater were made (Kolodny, 1983), oxygen isotopes have beenwidely used as a climatic and oceanographic proxy. The δ18OP aquatic vertebrate apatite isa function of the δ18Ow value of the ambient water, yet “vital effects” on the δ18OP compositionhave been reported previously (Venneman et al. READ MORE

3. Probing the Toba super-eruption: Insights from oxygen isotope geochemistry and geobarometry
University essay from BerggrundsgeologiAbstract : The Toba caldera located in north Sumatra, Indonesia, is the source of the largest volcanic eruption in the Quaternary (Rose & Chesner 1987). Its enormous volume of 2800 km3 has been a matter of debate for decades and it is still unclear where and how the Toba magma was assembled. READ MORE
