Sommario/riassunto

'Principles of Stable Isotope Distribution' presents a quantitative treatment of the theory and natural variations of light stable isotopes. Isotope distribution is rigorously discussed in the context of fractionation processes, thermodynamics, mass conservation, exchange kinetics and diffusion theory, in a treatment that includes more than 100 original applications.
