Frontiers in geochemistry: Contribution of geochemistry to the study of the Earth

Description

Wiley-Blackwell, 2011 — 278 p.This book is a contribution to the International Year of Planet Earth, arising from the Major Geosciences Program on C ontribution of Geochemistry to the Study of the Planet, spon-sored and conducted by the International Association of GeoChemistry (IAGC) during the rd International Geological Congress, held in Oslo, Norway from 6 – 14 August 2008. This sym-posium was dedicated to the internationally-renowned geochemist Wallace Broecker.Contents Contribution of Geochemistry to the Study of the EarthGeochemistry and Secular Geochemical Evolution of the Earth’s Mantle and Lower CrustCrustal Evolution – A Mineral Archive PerspectiveDiscovering the History of Atmospheric OxygenGeochemistry of the Oceanic CrustSilicate Rock Weathering and the Global Carbon CycleGeochemistry of Secular Evolution of GroundwaterStable Isotope Geochemistry: Some Perspectives Frontiers in GeochemistryGeochemistry of Geologic Sequestration of Carbon DioxideMicrobial Geochemistry: At the Intersection of DisciplinesNanogeochemistry: Nanostructures and Their Reactivity in Natural SystemsUrban GeochemistryArchaeological and Anthropological Applications of Isotopic and Elemental Geochemistry
