Catalog description

Course Description: Tracers of geochemical processes including isotopic, elemental, noble gas, and organic tracers that provide information about geological processes and record past geological processes influenced by physical, chemical and biological processes and conditions. Use of oxygen and hydrogen isotopes to trace the hydrologic cycle and processes and the use of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur isotopes to trace processes and exchange between the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere.
