After the discovery that elements were commonly composed of isotopes, there developed a range of studies of the variability of isotopic compositions in Earth materials, which was able to add to our understanding of Earth processes and history. This collection of chapters from the Treatise on Geochemistry describes the range of isotopic studies. The chapters are grouped into the following categories: light stable isotopes, radiogenic tracers, noble gases and radioactive tracers. The first three groups depend on mass spectrometric measurements. The section on radioactive tracers employs both radioactive counting techniques and the newly developed accelerator mass spectrometric techniques. Comprehensive, interdisciplinary and authoritative content
selected by leading subject experts
"The Upper Ocean" acollection of articles from the Encyclopedia
of Ocean Sciences, 2nd Edition reflects the trend toward
theinterdisciplinary study of oceanography,
whichintegratesthedisciplines of biology, chemistry, geology and
physics. The upper ocean s contact with the atmosphere profoundly
impacts climate, making this reference both timely and critical.The
selection of articles all written by experts in their field focuses
on Air-Sea Transfers; Air-Sea Chemical Exchanges and Cycles; The
Sea Surface, Waves and Upper Ocean Processes; Upper Ocean
Circulation and Structure; Plankton;Ice; andMeasurement Techniques
includingRemote Sensing.
"Readingsfrom the Treatise onGeochemistry" offers an
interdisciplinary reference for scientists, researchers and upper
undergraduate and graduate levelgeochemistry students that ismore
affordable than the full Treatise. For professionals, this volume
will provide anoverview of the field as a whole. For students, it
will provide morein-depth introductory content thanis found
inbroad-based geochemistry textbooks. Articleswere selected from
chapters across all volumes of the full Treatise, and include: The
Origin and Earliest History of the Earth, Compositional Evolution
of the Mantle, Evolution of Sedimentary Rocks, Soil Formation,
Geochemistry of Groundwater, Geologic History of Seawater,
Hydrothermal Processes, and Biogeochemistry of Primary Production
in the Sea.
Ocean Currents is a derivative of the Encyclopedia of Ocean Sciences, 2nd Edition and serves as an important reference on current ocean current knowledge and expertise in one convenient and accessible source. Its selection of articles all written by experts in their field focuses on key ocean current concepts. Its topics include ocean currents, the circulation of deep water, the contrasting circulations of the seas, the circulation in fjords, estuaries and the effects of rivers, and the intermittency and variability of the oceans. Ocean Currents serves as an ideal reference for topical research. References related articles on ocean currents to facilitate

This extensively updated new edition of the widely acclaimed
"Treatise on Geochemistry" has increased its coverage beyond the
wide range of geochemical subject areas in the first edition, with
five new volumes which include: the history of the atmosphere,
geochemistry of mineral deposits, archaeology and anthropology,
organic geochemistry and analytical geochemistry. In addition, the
original Volume 1 on "Meteorites, Comets, and Planets" was expanded
into two separate volumes dealing with meteorites and planets,
respectively. These additions increased the number of volumes in
the Treatise from 9 to 15 with the index/appendices volume
remaining as the last volume (Volume 16). Each of the original
volumes was scrutinized by the appropriate volume editors, with
respect to necessary revisions as well as additions and deletions.
As a result, 27% were republished without major changes, 66% were
revised and 126 new chapters were added. Six new volumes added and 66% updated from 1st edition. The Editors of this work have taken every measure to include the many suggestions received from readers and ensure comprehensiveness of coverage and added value in this 2nd edition. The esteemed Board of Volume Editors and Editors-in-Chief worked cohesively to ensure a uniform and consistent approach to the content, which is an amazing accomplishment for a 15-volume work (16 volumes including index volume)
Marine Geology and Geophysics is a derivative of the
Encyclopedia of Ocean Sciences, 2nd Edition and serves as an
important reference on current knowledge and expertise in one
convenient and accessible source. The selected articles all written
by experts in their field fall into several categories, including:
ocean basins, exploration methods, geophysical mesurements,
convergent and divergent boundaries, marine deposits and the
coastal environment. Marine Geology and Geophysics serves as an
ideal reference for topical research.
Geochemistry of Earth Surface Systemsoffers an interdisciplinary
reference for scientists, researchers and upper undergraduate and
graduate levelgeochemistry students a sampling of articles on earth
surface processes from The Treatise on Geochemistry that ismore
affordable than the full Treatise. For professionals, this volume
will provide anoverview of the field as a whole. For students, it
will provide morein-depth introductory content thanis found
inbroad-based geochemistry textbooks. Articleswere selected from
chapters across all volumes of the full Treatise, and include:
Volcanic Degassing, Hydrothermal Processes, The Contemporary Carbon
Cycle, Global Occurrence of Major Elements in Rivers, Organic
Matter in the Contemporary Ocean, The Biological Pump, and
Evolution of Sedimentary Rocks.
The history of Earth in the Solar System has been unraveled using natural radioactivity. The sources of this radioactivity are the original creation of the elements and the subsequent bombardment of objects, including Earth, in the Solar System by cosmic rays. Both radioactive and radiogenic nuclides are harnessed to arrive at ages of various events and processes on Earth. This collection of chapters from the Treatise on Geochemistry
displays the range of radioactive geochronometric studies that have
been addressed by researchers in various fields of Earth science.
These range from the age of Earth and the Solar System to the
dating of the history of Earth that assists us in defining the
major events in Earth history. In addition, the use of radioactive
geochronometry in describing rates of Earth surface processes,
including the climate history recorded in ocean sediments and the
patterns of circulation of the fluid Earth, has extended the range
of utility of radioactive isotopes as chronometric and tracer
tools.
