Product Description

Product Description

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 mechanisms of light and heavy elements; - the natural variations of geologically important reservoirs. The 5th edition has been revised and extended and now includes a new chapter on palaeoclimatology. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to stable isotope theory, 1 Jun 2004
By J. B. Chapman (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This newly updated and expanded version of the classic Hoefs text reflects the progress made within the field of stable isotope geochemistry in the last eight years, hence the inclusion of summary information on the up and coming 'non-traditional' stable isotope systems such as Cl, Li, Fe and Mo. The format otherwise remains near-identical to previous volumes, with plenty of good, clear diagrams and well-structured text.

Building from first principals, Hoefs takes the reader through nomenclature, fractionation theory, and analytical technology. The second section provides brief summaries of the current state of knowledge for each isotope system covered. Some of these are fairly brief (zinc gets only 10 lines!) but most include all the information needed to provide a sound basis for tackling up-to-date journal literature. Focus in the third section rests upon numerous case studies and summaries of isotopic variation in natural systems. These range through the entire spectrum of geological systems, from extraterrestrial material to palaeoclimatology and all points in between. Again, these are not tackled with any great depth but all provide abundant referenced material, allowing further investigation without much hassle.

In summary, this is a welcome update of an already indispensable text. Suitable for the vast majority of those interested in this field, from undergraduate students through to more experienced research workers wishing to refresh their knowledge of the ins and outs of stable isotope capabilities. Hoefs provides an excellent introduction to an otherwise fairly impenetrable subject area.
