Preface
Studies in stable isotope geochemistry have been since its beginning a strong and vital branch of earth sciences, but in the past decade, growth has occurred at an ever-increasing pace as a consequence of major advances in mass spectrometry, in micro-analytical techniques, and in calculating equilibrium isotope fractionations using ab initio methods. In specific, the application of multicollector-ICP-mass spectrometry now enables investigations of stable isotope compositions with adequate precisions for a wide range of transition and heavy elements that could not be measured before. Precise ion-microprobe measurements on the micrometer scale allow the detection of isotope heterogeneities in individual minerals. Analysis of multiple rare isotopes of elements permit the detection and distinction of massdependent and mass-independent processes. These major advances in analytical tools make substantial major revisions and extensions of the last edition necessary. The structure of the book has been retained. New topics are presented that range from the isotope composition of plants to the isotope composition of the earth’s core. The first part gives a general introduction to the theoretical and experimental principles. In the second pa
