Description
Summary:This is the first dedicated book to cover the basics of a wide range of stable isotope applications in a manner appropriate for someone entering the field. At the same time, it offers sufficient detail and numerous references and examples to direct research for further inquiry; such as hydrology, carbon in plants, meteorites, carbonates, metamorphic rocks, etc. It explores the theory and principles of isotope fractionation, offers unique, up-to-date discussion of meteorite (extraterrestrial) isotope data and presents the subject in an interesting historical context, with the classic papers noted. A useful reference for students taking the course and professionals entering the field of Geochemistry.
