Regional Isotope Comparison with Mica Lake

Isotope Comparison

Oxygen and hydrogen isotope values for water samples from south Alaska lakes, 2006 and 2007. Gray line is the global meteoric water line [GMWL; δD = 8 δ18O + 10 and gray square is Mica Lake surface water. The slope and distance from the GMWL of the least-squares regression for each region indicates evaporative effects. Note that the Prince William Sound line is parallel with the GMWL.
