U-Th series nuclides in aquatic systems /
This book provides state of art reviews on the applications of U-Th series nuclides to 'time' and 'tag' a variety of processes occurring in aquatic systems. The processes addressed would include, among others, chemical weathering on continents, dating of groundwaters and movement...
