But we found the
isotopic composition of the deep water was
similar to that of modern rainfall, which means the system in the Sydney Basin has been relatively stable for thousands of years.
Sea ice melt (SIM) also has relatively low salinity (S < 5), but its oxygen
isotopic composition is
similar to that of seawater, from which it is formed (δ18O ≅ 0 to — 6 ‰).
Because of these confounding factors, palaeoreconstructions based on the
isotopic composition of organic carbon (δ13C) will almost certainly have to be based on the
isotopic signatures of organic compounds that can be associated with a single species, or group of physiologically
similar species
