Stable Isotope Geochemistry is an introduction to the use of stable isotopes in the geosciences. The three parts treat theoretical and experimental principles; fractionation mechanisms of light and heavy elements; and the natural variations of geologically important reservoirs. The fifth edition has been revised and extended and now includes a new chapter on palaeoclimatology. Special emphasis has been given to the growing field of "heavy" elements, while many new references have been...
More DescriptionStable Isotope Geochemistry is an introduction to the use of stable isotopes in the geosciences. The three parts treat theoretical and experimental principles; fractionation mechanisms of light and heavy elements; and the natural variations of geologically important reservoirs. The fifth edition has been revised and extended and now includes a new chapter on palaeoclimatology. Special emphasis has been given to the growing field of "heavy" elements, while many new references have been added. For students and scientists alike, the book will be a primary source of information with regard to how and where stable isotopes can be used to solve geological problems.
