Oxygen Isotope Composition

Oxygen Isotope Composition is a geochemical metric that quantifies the relative abundances of oxygen isotopes (primarily ¹⁸O and ¹⁶O) in glacial ice or meltwater, serving to trace hydrological processes, paleotemperatures, and sources of water in glaciological and climate studies.
