In this dissertation, I explore the utility of \u0394\u203217O as a paleoecological tool using the fossil teeth of Early Eocene mammals. Furthermore, I use these \u0394\u203217O measurements to probe global biological productivity in the Early Eocene.\r\n\r\nChapter 2 introduces a new analytical method for making high-precision (< 10 ppm 1\u03c3 uncertainty) \u0394\u203217O measurements in an array of diverse Earth materials, including organics, sulfates, phosphates, nitrates, carbonates, silicates, and waters. The method uses a 3-step process to quantitatively convert sample oxygen to molecular oxygen (O2) for mass spectrometric analysis. Sample oxygen is first converted to oxygen in CO via a high temperature conversion (HTC) furnace (commonly known by the popular Thermo brand \u201cTC\/EA\u201d), then oxygen in CO is converted to oxygen in water via a Bosch-type methanation reaction, and finally oxygen in water is converted to O2 by fluorination. In this chapter, I report the first ever high-precision \u0394\u203217O measurements for organic materials and nitrates along with new measurements for various other standard reference materials.\r\n\r\nChapter 3 applies the triple oxygen isotope system to a taxonomically diverse group of mammal teeth from the Early Eocene Willwood Formation of the Bighorn Basin. I use \u0394\u203217O as a tracer for evaporative signals that yield information about the types of water resources each animal used during its life. This chapter offers new insights into the water-use strategies, dietary preferences, and habitats of the animals surveyed. I found evidence for semi-aquatic lifestyles in Homogalax and Coryphodon, while Hyracotherium appeared to be substantially more water independent. Esthonyx and Cantius recorded more variable intermediate \u0394\u203217O values, potentially suggesting more generalized water-use behaviors in these taxa. \r\n\r\nChapter 4 explores the utility of \u0394\u201917O in mammalian teeth to reconstruct biological productivity at the global scale. Here, I used animal body water models to isolate the \u0394\u203217O signal of respired atmospheric O2 from the fossil mammal teeth sampled in chapter 3. I then leveraged the relationship between global gross primary productivity (GPP) and \u0394\u203217O of atmospheric O2 to reconstruct global GPP. The results from this analysis suggest that global GPP may have been substantially elevated relative to present day, providing additional context for the state of life during a warm greenhouse world unlike the modern.\r\n\r\nThe advances to triple oxygen isotope geochemistry outlined here offer new, highly versatile methodologies and applications that lay the foundation for routine \u0394\u203217O measurements in a number of new Earth materials. This will fundamentally allow for new investigations into previously underexplored topics in the geosciences and expand our understanding of ancient worlds.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"121417-21846523@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/121417", "building_id":"1000188", "building_name":"1100 North University Building", "campus_maps_id":"628", "room":"2540", "location_name":"1100 North University Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Dissertation"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Earth and Environmental Sciences", "group_id":"3170", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/earth" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21846523 } , "121530-21846678": { "datetime_modified":"20240417T102935", "datetime_start":"20240422T110000", "datetime_end":"20240422T120000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-04-22", "date_end":"2024-04-22", "time_start":"11:00:00", "time_end":"12:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Determinantal expressions for Ohyama polynomials", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Determinantal expressions for Ohyama polynomials: Joe Harrow (University of Kent)", "event_subtitle":"Joe Harrow (University of Kent)", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"The Ohyama polynomials provide algebraic solutions of the D7 case of the Painleve III equation at a particular sequence of parameter values. It is known that many special function solutions of Painleve equations are expressed in terms of tau functions that can be written in the form of determinants, but until now such a representation for the Ohyama polynomials was not known. Here we present three different determinantal formulae for these polynomials: the first, in terms of Wronskian determinants related to a Darboux transformation for a Lax pair of KdV type; and the second, in terms of Hankel determinants, which is related to the Toda lattice. The third is for a slightly modified form of the polynomials and is given as a Wronskian of associated Laguerre polynomials.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"121530-21846678@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/121530", "building_id":"null", "building_name":"Off Campus Location", "campus_maps_id":"1", "room":"", "location_name":"Virtual", "has_livestream":1, "livetream_require_login":1, "cost":"", "tags":["Mathematics","seminar","Virtual"], "website":"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/umich.edu\/isrmt-seminar\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Integrable Systems and Random Matrix Theory Seminar - Department of Mathematics", "group_id":"4893", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Mathematics", "group_id":"3791", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/event_121530_original-1.jpeg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/crop-event_121530_original-1.jpeg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/crop-event_121530_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/crop-event_121530_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/crop-event_121530_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/crop-event_121530_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/crop-event_121530_original-1.jpeg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/crop-event_121530_original-1.jpeg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/crop-event_121530_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/crop-event_121530_original-1.jpeg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/crop-event_121530_original-1.jpeg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/crop-event_121530_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/crop-event_121530_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/crop-event_121530_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/crop-event_121530_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/crop-event_121530_original-1.jpeg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21846678 } }
