Description
The Handbook of Environmental Isotope Geochemistry comprises a series of books, each focussing on a selected environment, presenting in-depth reviews of all relevant studies and results obtained in specific research areas. Theoretical aspects as well as practical applications of isotope techniques are treated and extensive bibliographies are included. The handbook will cover the terrestrial, marine, and high temperature environments, and all will undoubtedly be welcomed by geologists, geochemists, hydrologists, climatologists and soil scientists. The complete Handbook will thus provide a valuable overview of the whole field of environmental isotope geochemistry, and will be suitable for graduate level instruction in isotope geology. Individual volumes will also be a valuable aid to study in hydrogeology, oceanography, economic geology, Quaternary geology and igneous metamorphic petrology.
