Stable Isotope Geochemistry is an introduction to the use of stable isotopes in the geosciences. 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. It is subdivided into three parts: i) theoretical and experimental principles, ii) fractionation processes of light and heavy elem…
Studies in stable isotope geochemistry have been since its beginning a strong and vital branch of earth sciences, but in the past decade, growth has occurred at an ever-increasing pace as a consequence of major advances in mass spectrometry, in micro-analytical techniques, and in calculating equilibrium isotope fractionations using ab initio methods. In specific, the application of multicol…
