商品簡介
Presents essential material on environmental isotopes in hydrogeology in plain language for nonspecialists. Explains the theoretical basis of methods for measuring naturally occurring nuclides in water, demonstrates how to apply them, and illustrates material with case studies and problems. Coverage includes tracing the hydrogeological and carbon cycles, groundwater quality, dating groundwaters, water-rock interaction, and methods for field sampling. Includes compilation tables of equilibrium isotope fractionation factors. A Web site offers problem solutions and other supporting material. For advanced undergraduate and graduate students with previous experience in aqueous geochemistry, as well as professionals in environmental engineering, hydrogeology, and nuclear science.
