ClumpyCrunch
A web application for processing Δ47 measurements using the D47crunch library. Currently hosted at clumpycrunch.pythonanywhere.com.
Quick start
Raw data
Paste your data into the Raw Data Input text box, using the following format:
UID | Session | Sample | D17O | d45 | d46 | d47 | d48 | d49 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
001 | 2020-01 | ETH-1 | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
002 | 2020-01 | IAEA-C2 | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
003 | 2020-01 | ETH-3 | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
030 | 2020-01 | ETH-2 | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
031 | 2020-02 | ETH-3 | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
032 | 2020-02 | IAEA-C1 | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
060 | 2020-02 | ETH-1 | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
The only mandatory columns are Sample
, d45
, d46
, and d47
.
UID
cells are treated as arbitrary strings and are intended to provide an unique identifier for ech analysis.
Session
cells are also treated as arbitrary strings and are intended to provide an unique identifier for each analytical session (defined as a discrete time window during which analytical conditions are presumed to have remained stable). Without a Session
column, all analyses will be treated as belonging to the same session.
Without a D17O
column, all analyses will be treated as having an 17O anomaly of zero relative to VSMOW (with a λ value defined in the Oxygen-17 Correction Settings panel).
Optional d13Cwg_VPDB
and d18Owg_VSMOW
columns may be used to specify explicitly the “bulk” isotopic composition of the working gas. These fields must be filled in for analysis (i.e. each line). If the option Explicitly defined in the raw data is not selected in the Working Gas Composition Settings panel, these fields are ignored.
Optional Nominal_d13C_VPDB
and Nominal_d18O_VPDB
columns may be used to treat some samples as carbonate standards for δ13C and δ18O normalization (see Carbon-13 Standardization and Oxygen-18 Standardization panels) and/or to compute working gas compositions (see Working Gas Composition Settings).
Empty cells are treated as nan
(not a number).
Table cells may be separated by tabs, by commas, or by semicolons (no mixing of delimitors), and spaces surrounding these delimitors are ignored.
WG settings
Two options are available. By default, the bulk composition of the WG in each session is computed based on carbonate standard analyses (i.e. lines with non-empty values for both Nominal_d13C_VPDB
and Nominal_d18O_VPDB
) within that session.
Alternatively, you may specify the WG bulk composition explicitly in, by including columns d13Cwg_VPDB
and d18Owg_VSMOW
in the raw data table.
13C and 18O standardization settings
By default, bulk isotopic compositions are standardized using a “two-point” affine transformation (correcting for small offsets and stretching effects) based on carbonate standard analyses (i.e. lines with non-empty values for Nominal_d13C_VPDB
and/or Nominal_d18O_VPDB
) within each session.
Optionally, you may opt instead for a “single-point” standardization approach not correcting for strecthing effects, for instance if the cabonate standards cover only a small fraction of the full isotopic range of your measurements.
You may also opt to perform no a posteriori standardization of bulk isotopic compositions, which implies that the quality of your final δ13C and δ18O values will depend strongly on the accuracy of your working gas composition and the linearity of your instrument.
