Jan Schwarzbauer: Isotopes in Organic Geochemistry, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This volume of the series Fundamentals of Organic Geochemistry provides an overview of isotope analysis in organic geochemistry and related fields of applied sciences. It dives deep into the basics of isotopes and isotopic fractioning processes with applications e. g. in environmental biodegradation or correlations of fossil matter. This textbook helps students understanding the geoscientific, analytical, and chemical isotope aspects in complex natural systems. Students learn the importance of isotope organic geochemistry and its relationship to fundamental processes in the geosphere and biosphere, which include e. g. photosynthesis, evaporation / precipitation within the global water cycle, biotic degradation, and biosynthesis.

The book is intended for chemistry and geoscience students at BSc, MSc, and PhD levels.
