Description for Geochemical Modelling of Igneous Processes - Principles And Recipes in R Language: Bringing the Power of R to a Geochemical Community
Hardcover. Series: Springer Geochemistry. Num Pages: 346 pages, 246 black & white illustrations, 86 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: RBGG; RBGK; UYM. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 166 x 296 x 24. Weight in Grams: 700.
The aim of this book is to unlock the power of the freeware R language to advanced university students and researchers dealing with whole-rock geochemistry of (meta-) igneous rocks. The first part covers data input/output, calculation of commonly used indexes and plotting in R. The core of the book then focusses on the presentation and practical implementations of modelling techniques used for fingerprinting processes such as partial melting, fractional crystallization, binary mixing or AFC using major-, trace-element and radiogenic isotope data. The reader will be given a firm theoretical basis for forward/reverse modelling, followed by exercises dealing with typical problems ... Read more

Reviews for Geochemical Modelling of Igneous Processes - Principles And Recipes in R Language: Bringing the Power of R to a Geochemical Community
It is a textbook which discusses the theory of geochemical modelling as applied to whole-rock major and trace element data and to radiogenic isotopes ... . A starting graduate student in geochemistry would benefit from spending time with this book. It is well produced, the text is clear and the coding sections are printed in a different font for clarity, ... Read more
