Isotope Hydrology: A Study of the Water Cycle - Hardcoverby Joel R. Gat (Author) Within the realm of the newly evolving discipline of environmental sciences, the stable isotope methodology is being used to an ever increasing extent, especially in the study of the water cycle and of paleo climatology. This book introduces the rules of the game, by reviewing the natural variability of stable isotopes in the hydrosphere, describing the physico chemical basis of isotope fractionation, and applying this
