Key Equations

$$\delta^{18}O = \left(\frac{(^{18}O/^{16}O)_{\text{sample}}}{(^{18}O/^{16}O)_{\text{VPDB}}} - 1\right) \times 1000 \text{ (‰)}$$
$$\text{Mg/Ca} = B \cdot \exp(A \cdot T)$$
$$U^{K'}_{37} = \frac{[C_{37:2}]}{[C_{37:2}] + [C_{37:3}]}, \quad T = \frac{U^{K'}_{37} - 0.044}{0.033}$$
$$Q_{\text{summer 65°N}} \approx Q_0\left[1 + e\sin\varpi + \epsilon\cos\varpi + \frac{\Delta\varepsilon}{\varepsilon_0}\right]$$

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