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
elements, iii) the natural variations of geologically important
reservoirs. In the last decade, major advances in
multicollector-ICP-mass-spectrometry enable the precise
determination of a wide range of transition and heavy elements.
Progress in analysing the rare isotopes of certain elements allows
the distinction between mass-dependent and mass-independent
fractionations. These major advances in analytical techniques make
an extended new edition necessary. Special emphasis has been given
to the growing field of “non-traditional” isotope systems. Many new
references have been added, which will enable quick access to
recent literature.
