Stable Isotope Geochemistry

Overview

"Stable Isotope Geochemistry is an introduction to the use of stable isotopes in the geosciences. It is subdivided into three parts: theoretical and experimental principles; fractionation processes of light and heavy elements; the natural variations of geologically important reservoirs. Since the application of stable isotopes to earth sciences has grown in the last few years, a new edition appears necessary. Recent progress in analysing the rare isotopes of certain elements for instance allow the distinction between mass-dependent and mass-independent fractionations. Special emphasis has been given to the growing field of ""heavy"" elements. Many new references have been added, which will enable quick access to recent literature. 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."

(Xiqiu Han, Journal of Sedimentary Research, September, 2004) In its fifth edition, this is an exquisite, no-nonsense, very clearly written primer on stable isotope geochemistry. ! Not only is this a very good textbook and primer, it is a superb reference book on stable isotope geochemistry. ! Hoefs' textbook can be fully recommended to sit on the desk of any geochemist or geoscientist (student and experienced colleague alike) dealing with stable isotopes. (Jorg Matschullat, Environmental Geology, Vol. 49, 2006) Professor Hoefs defines stable isotopes as atoms whose nuclei contain the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons. ! This book contains an exceptional list of literature references for additional study on specific topics. Hoefs' book is a very valuable reference for individuals and companies engaged in isotopic studies and is very reasonably priced. (Robert F.
