Description for Isotopes in Palaeoenvironmental Research
Hardback. Shows how stable isotopes can be applied to understanding the palaeoenvironment, with chapters on the interpretation of isotopes in water, tree rings, bones and teeth, lake sediments, speleothems and marine sediments. This book offers advice on calibration, including a multi-proxy approach, using isotope signals from different materials. Editor(s): Leng, Melanie J. (NERC Isotope Geosciences Lab.). Series: Developments in Paleoenvironmental Research. Num Pages: 325 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHM; RBX. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 240 x 160 x 18. Weight in Grams: 714.
This volume is intended to show how stable isotopes can be applied to understanding the palaeoenvironment. There are chapters on the interpretation of isotopes in water, tree rings, bones and teeth, lake sediments, speleothems and marine sediments. Crucial to the understanding of the environmental signal contained within the isotope composition of different materials is to gain more information about how rainfall isotope compositions are determined by climate. Chapter 1 (Darling et al. ) describes O, H and C stable isotope compositions in the modern day water and aqueous carbon cycles to provide a framework for the interpretation of these isotopes ...
