Special Issue on Isotope Geochemistry
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same numbers of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons. Isotope geochemistry is an aspect of geology based upon study of the natural variations in the relative abundances of isotopes of various elements. Variations in isotopic abundance are measured by isotope ratio mass spectrometry, and can reveal information about the ages and origins of rock, air or water bodies, or processes of mixing between them. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of isotope geochemistry.
In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore isotope geochemistry. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:
-
Stable isotope geochemistry
-
Radiogenic isotope geochemistry
-
Isotope tracer method
-
Anthropogenic isotopes
-
Uranium-series isotopes
-
Isotopic variation in the noble gases
Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.
Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Isotope Geochemistry” should be selected during your submission.
