PREFACE

This volume follows the 1986 reviews in Mineralogy (Vol.16) in approach but reflects significant changes in the fields of Stable Isotope Geochemistry, In terms of new technology, new sub-disciplines, and numbers of researchers, the field has changes more in the past decade than in any other since that of it birth. Unlike the 1986 volume, which was restricted to high temperature fields, this book covers a wider range of disciplines. However, it would not be possible to fit a comprehensive review into a single volume. Our goal is to provide state-of-the-art reviews in chosen subjects that have emerged or advanced greatly since 1986.

The field of Stable Isotope Geochemistry was born of a good idea and nurtured by technology, in 1947, Harold Urey published his calculated values of reduced partition function for oxygen isotopes and his idea (a good . . . [Full Text of this Article]
