Isotope tracers in catchment hydrology

Abstract

This book represents a new earth systems approach to catchments, encompassing the physical and biogeochemical interactions that control the hydrology and biogeochemistry of the system. The fundamentals of catchment hydrologt, the principles of isotope geochemistry, and the isotope variability in the hydrologic cycle are covered, but the main focus is on case studies in isotope hydrology and isotope geochemistry that explore the applications of isotope techniques for investigating modern environmental problems.
