E-Book Overview

Stable isotope geochemistry has become an essential part of geochemistry and has contributed significantly to the solution of a wide variety of geological problems, which span the whole field of earth sciences, from paleoclimatology to cosmochemistry, from oceanography to mantle geochemistry, to list only a few. In some fields such as ore deposit studies, stable isotopes have played an integral part for many years; in others such as environmental studies the application of stable isotopes is still growing. In recent years new microanalytical techniques, permitting relatively precise analysis of very small sample sizes, have opened up exciting research avenues which will allow the investigation of a new generation of problems.
