This monograph was begun with two objectives in mind. The first was
to provide a review of research involving the application of
neodymium isotopic measurements to pro blems in earth science. In
the process of organizing to do this, I realized that the research
in this field had produced a need for an updated review of the
underlying paradigms. This need had arisen because of the special
properties of the samarium-neodymium isotopic system, and because
the research had transgressed the traditional boundaries be tween
the subfields of earth science. Without such a review, the
significance of the results seemed likely to remain un necessarily
obscure to interested scientists from related disciplines.
Consequently, the second objective became the provision of a
theoretical framework for the application of neodymium isotopic
studies. Much of what this contains is not new, but it is drawn
together here for the first time. At the time the writing was
initiated, the literature of the field was still relatively
limited. Over the past 5 years it has grown enormously. Considering
the rate at which the writing progressed, it became clear that this
could not be a fully up-to-date review and still reach completion.
The selection of material for the review sections is biased toward
earlier studies. Part I presents most of the background
information."
