Description for Cosmogenic Nuclides: Principles, Concepts and Applications in the Earth Surface Sciences
hardcover. The first comprehensive, state-of-the-art introduction to the fast-evolving topic of in-situ produced cosmogenic nuclides, for graduate students and practitioners. Num Pages: 198 pages, 44 b/w illus. 5 tables. BIC Classification: RBGK. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 237 x 159 x 12. Weight in Grams: 434.
This is the first book to provide a comprehensive and state-of-the-art introduction to the novel and fast-evolving topic of in-situ produced cosmogenic nuclides. It presents an accessible introduction to the theoretical foundations, with explanations of relevant concepts starting at a basic level and building in sophistication. It incorporates, and draws on, methodological discussions and advances achieved within the international CRONUS (Cosmic-Ray Produced Nuclide Systematics) networks. Practical aspects such as sampling, analytical methods and data-interpretation are discussed in detail and an essential sampling checklist is provided. The full range of cosmogenic isotopes is covered and a wide spectrum of in-situ applications ... Read more
