Methods

Analytical and computational workflows

A roadmap for turning laboratory expertise into reusable, citable protocols while preserving method-specific limitations.

01

Atmospheric CO₂ triple oxygen isotope analysis

Sample preparation, CO₂–O₂ exchange, reference materials, precision, notation, and quality control.

Protocol page planned
02

Ozone and nitrate isotope interpretation

Tracing oxygen-transfer chemistry while distinguishing direct evidence from pathway inference.

Interpretation guide planned
03

Water-vapor isotope monitoring

Calibration, humidity dependence, temporal averaging, rain–vapor comparison, and event analysis.

Protocol page planned
04

Planetary photochemical modeling

Reaction networks, transport, boundary conditions, sensitivity tests, and model–observation comparison.

Model documentation planned
05

Geological triple oxygen and clumped isotopes

Sample context, extraction, reference frame, interlaboratory comparability, and interpretation limits.

Protocol page planned
06

Reproducible analysis and provenance

Versioned data, scripts, environment files, rendered figures, claim ledgers, and archival outputs.

Workflow template planned

Protocols can extend the life of earlier method papers.

Each protocol should cite the original method paper, explain subsequent modifications, link the current implementation, and provide a preferred citation. This helps readers use the method correctly while directing credit to foundational work.
