Noble Gas Geochemistry
Noble Gas Geochemistry 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. There have been many developments in the use of the 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.
- This new edition has been completely updated to include the latest subject and techniques greatly expanded since publication of first edition
- First edition received many excellent reviews
- The only comprehensive book on the subject, written by leading experts in the field
Reviews & endorsements
"...likely to remain a highly relevant introductory text for years to come...lucid and easy style of presentation: there is a great deal of useful, accessible reference data... invaluable to geochemists and will find wide use as an introduction to the subject for a range of non-specialists at both the undergraduate and graduate level."
