Excellent Resource.......2007-05-13

This is an excellent resource for the use and analysis of stable isotopes and their applications in isogeochemistry. Not only could this book be an excellent textbook for graduate studies, but a reference that would be utilized time and time again.

A great addition to the field.......2006-07-28

This book is sensational. It is well researched, and well written--two things that one does not always find in a science textbook. Dr. Sharp has also spent the time to index the book so that it more user friendly. I predict this book will be around for a long time. It's much more current, and useful than the other books out there on Stable Isotopes.

Book 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.

Book Description

This book presents a quantitative treatment of the theory and natural variations of light stable isotopes. It discusses isotope distribution in the context of fractionation processes, thermodynamics, mass conservation, exchange kinetics, and diffusion theory, and includes more than 100 original equations. The theoretical principles are illustrated with natural examples that emphasize oxygen and hydrogen isotope variations in natural waters, terrestrial and extraterrestrial rocks, and hydrothermal systems. New data on meteoric precipitation, rivers, springs, formation fluids, and hydrothermal systems are included in relation to various natural phenomena. Essentially, this book seeks to reconnect the diverse phenomenological observations of isotope distribution to the quantitative theories of physical chemistry and the language of differential equations. It may serve as a textbook for advanced students, as a research reference, or as a quick source of information. The book is organized into five chapters, each followed by suggested quantitative problems and a short reference list. The three theoretical chapters progress from an elementary review of the physical chemistry of stable isotopes, to the thermodynamics of isotopic compounds, and finally to the calculation of isotope distribution in dynamic systems. The third and fifth chapters emphasize oxygen and hydrogen isotope variations in Earth's hydrosphere and lithosphere, constituting the most important examples of the theoretical principles. Appendices provide data on atomic weights of light elements, physical constants, mathematical relationships, and isotopic fractionation factors.

Book Description

Accelerating progress in the application of radioactive and stable isotope analysis to a varied range of geologicla and geochemical problems in geology has required a complete revision of Isotopes in the Earth Sciences, published in 1988. This new book comprises four parts: the first introduces isotopic chemistry and examines mass spectroscopic methods; the second eeals with radiometric dating methods. Part Three examines the importance of isotopes in climato-environmental studies, and increasingly significant area of research. The last part looks at extra-terrestrial matter, geothermometry and the isotopic geochemistry of the Earth's lithosphere. Post-graduate and post-doctoral researchers in geochemistry, as well as final year undergraduates in the earth and environmental sciences, will find Radioactive and Stable Isotope Geology an invaluable, uo-to-date and thorough treatment of the theory and practice of isotopie geology.

Book Description

In this authoritative review, leading international researchers explore the growing range of applications of stable isotope techniques for probing and integrating biological processes and palaeoclimatic cycles. The interdisciplinary approach covers a wide range of issues, opportunities and developments, setting interactions with plants in the context of water and nutrient cycles, exchanges with the atmosphere and modelling past and present climate change. This important book will appeal to those requiring an overview of the use of stable isotopes in aquatic, terrestrial and climatic processes and is in tune with current global concerns. In addition postgraduates and research scientists will find an extensive guide to more specialist disciplines, including developing mass spectrometer technologies, compound-specific and cellular-discrimination processes or whole organism and ecosystem responses.

Description:
Seasonal temperature fluctuations of Tethyan coastal water are recorded in a pristine, ~80-My-old rudist shell from Turkey. In order to critically assess factors other than seawater temperature that might have influenced the shell geochemical record, three different paleo-temperature proxies (@d^1^8O, Mg/Ca and @d^4^4Ca) were applied. In a qualitative manner, all three proxies reflect the same cyclical trends and thus yield robust evidence for seasonal fluctuations in Late Cretaceous surficial seawater temperature. This suggests the successful application of the new @d^4^4Ca temperature proxy to fossil mollusk calcite. The direct comparison of the three data sets, however, demonstrates that all proxies are fraught with problems. Similar to other studies, ^1^8O/^1^6O ratios point to warmer summer temperature maxima than those in comparable costal settings today. Nevertheless, the ^1^8O/^1^6O proxy is subject to environmental factors that might lead to an overestimation of peak temperatures. Moreover, Mg/Ca molar ratios are less sensitive to environmental factors but were strongly affected by the ion regulating capability of the rudist bivalve that responded to the low Mg/Ca ratio of Cretaceous seawater. Similarly, uncertainties of the @d^4^4Ca composition of Cretaceous seawater and the complex bio-calcification of mollusks presently limit the interpretation of @d^4^4Ca values in terms of absolute seawater temperature. The multiproxy approach applied here, however, documents that these limitations do not obscure the dominant patterns of seasonal sea-surface temperature variations recorded in the biogeochemical rudist archive.
