Isotope ratio determination in the earth and environmental sciences: Developments and applications in 2004/2005

Abstract

This review documents developments and applications in the field of isotope ratio determination, as reflected in the literature for the Earth and environmental sciences for the years 2004 and 2005. The emphasis is largely one on applications, reflecting the enormous diversity of problems to which isotopic analysis is now applied, but seen against a background of rapid change in the uptake of new analytical technologies.
