Professor Mark Baskaran edits new book

Professor Mark Baskaran has edited a new book, Handbook of Environmental Isotope Geochemistry, illustrating the application of isotope techniques to environmental changes in the Anthropocene.

Over the past three to four decades major developments in instrumentation have resulted in high precision and sensitivity in the measurement of a large number of radioactive and stable isotopes that are widely utilized as powerful tools in earth and environmental science.

These developments have opened-up new areas of research, widening and deepening knowledge of geochemical processes, and lead to important new discoveries. The purpose of this two-set volume is to bring together the more recent applications of a much larger number of radioactive and stable isotopes in earth and environmental science.
