This new volume on boron isotope geochemistry offers review chapters
summarizing the cosmochemistry, high-temperature and low-temperature
geochemistry, and marine chemistry of boron. It also covers theoretical
aspects of B isotope fractionation, experiments and atomic modeling, as
well as all aspects of boron isotope analyses in geologic materials
using the full range of solutions and in-situ methods. The book provides
guidance for researchers on the analytical and theoretical aspects, as
well as introducing the various scientific applications and research
fields in which boron isotopes currently play a major role. The last
compendium to summarize the geochemistry of boron and address its
isotope geochemistry was published over 20 years ago (Grew &Anovitz,
1996, MSA Review, Vol.33), and there have since been significant
advances in analytical techniques, applications and scientific insights
into the isotope geochemistry of boron. This volume in the "Advances in
Isotope Geochemistry" series provides a valuable source for students and
professionals alike, both as an introduction to a new field and as a
reference in ongoing research.
