This book provides a comprehensive introduction to radiogenic and
stable isotope geochemistry. Beginning with a brief overview of
nuclear physics and nuclear origins, it then reviews radioactive
decay schemes and their use in geochronology. A following chapter
covers the closely related techniques such as fission-track and
carbon-14 dating. Subsequent chapters cover nucleosynthetic
anomalies in meteorites and early solar system chronology and the
use of radiogenic isotopes in understanding the evolution of the
Earth s mantle, crust, and oceans. Attention then turns to stable
isotopes and after reviewing the basic principles involved, the
book explores their use in topics as diverse as mantle evolution,
archeology and paleontology, ore formation, and, particularly,
paleoclimatology. A following chapter explores recent developments
including unconventional stable isotopes, mass-independent
fractionation, and isotopic clumping . The final chapter reviews
the isotopic variation in the noble gases, which result from both
radioactive decay and chemical fractionations.
