The Geochemistry of Stable Chlorine and Bromine Isotopes

This book provides detailed information on the history, analysis and applications of chlorine and bromine isotope geochemistry. Chlorine and bromine are geochemically unique as they prefer to exist as single charged negative ions. For this reason isotope

Preface

In 2014, it is 30 years ago that the Ph.D. thesis written by Ronald Kaufmann “Chlorine in Ground Water: Stable Isotope Distribution” was published. This thesis definitely is the landmark publication of all articles, book chapters, conference proceedings, and other papers written on halogen stable isotopes as it, for the very first time, showed that natural chlorine stable isotope variations were clearly, and actually easily, measurable. Earlier papers were published on chlorine (and even bromine) isotopes, but these were published at a very low frequency of less than one paper per year on average. These papers, mostly aimed at the development o
