Summary:

This complete guide is the first book to focus exclusively on this critical area of hydrogeology -- and the first to explain the topic in terms the non-specialist will understand. The authors have evaluated half a century of research to provide this essential "how-to" guide for students and scientists. The book explains the theories behind the methods, demonstrates how to use environmental isotopes, and illustrates key points with case studies and problem sets. A corresponding web site presents additional related material.-- Includes web site address (http: //www.science.uottawa.ca/EIH) for sample chapters, problem solutions, and other supporting material-- Presents a compilation table of equilibrium isotope fractionation factors in a single source-- Reviews sampling methods, strategies, sizes, preservation, and methods of analysis-- Includes more than 100 figures and extensive references-- Contains a comprehensive subject index for rapid access to specific topics

Notes:

Includes bibliographical references (pages [291]-311) and index.
