PPT-Introduction to Stable Isotope Geochemistry

Lecture 30 Beginnings Stable isotope geochemistry is concerned with variations in the isotopic compositions of elements arising small differences in the chemical behavior of different isotopes of an . Chapter 6. Isotope Geochemistry. In isotope geochemistry, our primary interest is not in dating, but using the time-dependent nature of isotope ratios to make inferences about the nature of reservoirs in the Earth and their evolution..

Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Most elements in the first two rows of the periodic table have at least 2 isotopes with one being more common than the other. Lecture 39. U & Th Decay Series . Isotopes. continued. U and . Th.
