Stable Isotopes in Paleoclimatology (Blackwell Quaternary Geoscience Series)
Stable Isotopes in Paleoclimatology - Blackwell Quaternary Geoscience Series Author:Jonathan Holmes, Mark Maslin This text examines the application of stable isotopes in the reconstruction of past climatic conditions. With particular emphasis on the Quaternary, "Stable Isotopes in Paleoclimatology" provides a comprehensive overview of isotope records in marine sediments, ice cores and continental archives, and examines how these may be interpreted. In addi... more »tion to the in-depth analysis of individual paleoclimatic archives, this book includes chapters on the fundamentals of stable isotope geochemistry and factors controlling the distribution of stable isotopes in the modern environment. The book discusses the stable isotopes of hydrogen, boron, carbon, nitrogen and silicon. "Stable Isotopes in Paleoclimatology" is essential reading for advanced undergraduates and graduates in paleoenvironmental research, and will also be of value to teachers of undergraduate courses in environmental change who do not have a background in stable isotopes.« less
