Noble Gas Geochemistry
Noble Gas Geochemistry discusses the fundamental concepts of using noble gases
to solve problems in the earth and planetary sciences.
The discipline of noble gas geochemistry has become a major branch in the
earth and planetary sciences. It offers a powerful and unique tool in resolving
problems such as the origin of the solar system, evolution of the planets, Earth
formation, mantle evolution and dynamics, atmospheric degassing and evolution,
ocean circulation, dynamics of aquifer systems, and numerous applications to
other geological problems. This book gives a comprehensive description of the
physical chemistry and cosmochemistry of noble gases before leading on to
applications for problem solving in the earth and planetary sciences. Abundant
tables and figures for noble gas elemental and isotopic data in the solar system
(terrestrial, meteoritic, solar, etc.) are included.
There have been many developments in the use of noble gases since publication
of the first edition of this book in 1983. This second edition has been fully revised
and updated. The book will be invaluable to graduate students and researchers in
the earth and planetary sciences who use noble gas geochemistry techniques.
