The development of an in-situ UV ablation GC-IRMS technique for the analysis of oxygen isotopes in metamorphic minerals, and its application to polymetamorphic schists from Western Massachusetts, U.S.A

This thesis describes an attempt to develop a pioneering method for the analysis of oxygen isotopes in metamorphic rocks. This technique is then applied to a suite of metapelites from Massachusetts, U.S.A. with the aim of investigating metamorphic history. The study of oxygen isotopes is a rapid and...
