Central to many of these applications is a quantitative understanding of equilibrium isotope partitioning between substances. Indeed, it was Harold Urey’s (1947) thermodynamically based estimate of the temperature-dependence of 18O/16O fractionation between calcium carbonate and water, and a recognition of how this information might be used to determine the temperatures of ancient oceans, that launched the science of stable isotope geochemistry. The approach pioneered by Urey has since been used to estimate temperatures...
