PStable Isotope Geochemistry is an introduction to the use of stable isotopesin the geosciences. It is subdivided into three parts theoretical andexperimental principles fractionation processes of light and heavy elementsthe natural variations of geologically important reservoirs. Since theapplication of stable isotopes to earth sciences has grown in the last fewyears a new edition appears necessary. Recent progress in analysing the rareisotopes of certain elements for instance allow the distinction between massdependent and massindependent fractionations. Special emphasis has been givento the growing field of quotheavyquot elements. Many new references havebeen added which will enable quick access to recent literature. For studentsand scientists alike the book will be a primary source of information withregard to how and where stable isotopes can be used to solve geologicalproblems.P «
