Modern isotope geochemistry is a rapidly expanding field that has a part to play in a broad range of earth and planetary sciences. This advanced level text reviews the field of radiogenic isotope geology in a concise and visual manner and provides an introduction to the subject and its wide variety of applications.
Modern isotope geochemistry is a rapidly expanding field that has a part to play in a broad range of earth and planetary sciences - from extra-solar system processes to environmental geoscience. This book provides a comprehensive review of the field of radiogenic isotope geology and highlights the use of isotopic dating and tracer studies in solving geological problems. The author presents current ideas in their historical context, thereby leading the reader to an appreciation of the development of modern interpretations. The text is illustrated with over 400 diagrams to allow easy visualisation of all the important concepts.
