After the discovery that elements were commonly composed of isotopes, there developed a range of studies of the variability of isotopic compositions in Earth materials, which was able to add to our understanding of Earth processes and history.
This book represents a new "e;earth systems"e; approach to catchments that encompasses the physical and biogeochemical interactions that control the hydrology and biogeochemistry of the system.
This book is focused on the basics of applying thermochronology to geological and tectonic problems, with the emphasis on fission-track thermochronology.
This volume is for environmental researchers and government policy makers who are required to monitor environmental quality for their environmental investigators and remediation plans.
Fossil hydrocarbons form a continuous series whose"e;heavy"e;members--heavy oils, bitumens, oil shale kerogens, and coal--are important sources of conventional lighter fuels.
This book provides a practical perspective of all the processes involved in estimating mineral resources and reserves, including mine-to-mill reconciliation.
The contents of the book are assembled from selected papers presented during the International Conference on Isotopes in Environmental Studies - AQUATIC FORUM 2004 convened in Monaco from 25 to 29 October 2004, which was the most important gathering of the year of isotope environmental scientists.
The environmental impact of the common binders used in construction materials is usually evaluated through life-cycle assessment (LCA), which is an effective process to measure the service life of construction materials.
