Diatom silica is a form of biogenic opal (SiO2.nH2O, Figure 1) containing oxygen, silicon, carbon and nitrogen isotopes that can be used in lacustrine and marine paleoenvironmental studies. Since diatoms bloom following a seasonal pattern defined par... Read More about Stable isotopes from diatom silica.
