Isotopes and Climate Change; References; Appendix: Tritium in the Water Cycle; IndexWithin the discipline of environmental sciences, the stable-isotope methodology is being increasingly used, especially in the study of the water cycle and of paleo-climatology. This book reviews the natural variability of stable isotopes in the hydrosphere, describing the physico-chemical basis of isotope fractionalism, and applying this knowledge to natural waters as they move through the hydrologic cycle from the ocean to the atmosphere, the biosphere and the lithosphere. It focuses on the processes at the surface-atmosphere and land-biosphere-atmosphere interfaces, since these are the sitesSeries on environmental science and management ;6.Hydrologic cycleStable isotopesRadioisotopes in hydrologyHydrologic cycle.Stable isotopes.Radioisotopes in hydrology.551.48Gat Joel1926-1537981MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780890303321Isotope hydrology3787665UNINA
