GGR Biennial Review: Isotope Ratio Determination in the Earth and Environmental Sciences 2008-2009

Abstract

This review documents developments and applications in the field of isotope ratio determination, as reflected in the literature for the Earth and environmental sciences for the years 2008 and 2009. The emphasis is predominantly on applications, reflecting the enormous diversity of problems to which isotopic analysis can now be applied, but viewed in the context of rapid development of new analytical methodologies as significant new drivers of research output. © 2010 The Author.
