Triple oxygen isotope systematics as a tracer of fluids in the crust: A study from modern geothermal systems of Iceland

Triple oxygen isotope systematics of ancient hydrothermally altered rocks has been previously used to constrain environmental conditions of the Precambrian. To validate those studies, we report high-precision triple oxygen isotope measurements (expressed as Δ′17O with reference slope 0.528) of quartz, epidote and well fluids from modern geothermal areas of Iceland, Krafla and Reykjanes, as well as measurements from the extinct 6 Ma Geitafell...
