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 sites 410 0$aSeries on environmental science and management ;$v6. 606 $aHydrologic cycle 606 $aStable isotopes 606 $aRadioisotopes in hydrology 615 0$aHydrologic cycle. 615 0$aStable isotopes. 615 0$aRadioisotopes in hydrology. 676 $a551.48 700 $aGat$b Joel$f1926-$01537981 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780890303321 996 $aIsotope hydrology$93787665 997 $aUNINA
