Key Equations

$$\delta^{18}\text{O} = \left(\frac{(^{18}\text{O}/^{16}\text{O})_{\text{sample}}}{(^{18}\text{O}/^{16}\text{O})_{\text{standard}}} - 1\right) \times 1000 \, \text{‰}$$
$$\ln \alpha_{l-v} \approx \frac{1137}{T^2} - \frac{0.4156}{T} - 0.00207$$
$$R_v = R_{v,0} \cdot f^{(\alpha - 1)}$$
$$\delta^{18}\text{O}_{\text{precip}} \approx 0.69 \, T_s - 13.6 \, \text{‰}$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
