This project investigates the reliability of oxygen isotopes in shark teeth to understand past ocean temperatures. By studying modern shark teeth in a controlled environment, it aims to clarify how isotopic composition varies and how this affects interpretations of ancient climate data.
Predictions of the impact of future climate change have to be grounded in a firm understanding of environmental change in the geological past.
Proxies for the isotopic composition of past oceans are widely used to give an insight into their water chemistry and, by extension, the surface temperature of these oceans.
Variations in the ratio of Oxygen 16:Oxygen 18 (δ18O) are the most widely utilized proxy for water temperature, and are typically derived from fossil hard tissues, with the δ18O of bi…
