Preface
This book represents a landmark in the application of noble gases to the Earth sciences. When you turn to the pages within you will see that this unique set of tracers has now made the transition from the domain of a few specialist laboratories to become a standard part of the geochemists’ toolkit in tackling an array of both fundamental and applied science problems. Although noble gases are used extensively as a dating tool in geological and environmental systems and are also extensively studied in cosmochemistry, each of which could fill a book alone, this volume specifically focuses on how noble gases are used as tracers in terrestrial systems. This is very much a nuts and bolts ‘how-to-do-it’ b
