Features: This book introduces environmental isotopes, their history, early development, and the fundamental theory of isotope fractionation. It elaborates on the fractionation of 2H and 18O throughout the entire hydrological cycle, explores isotopic tracing in precipitation and groundwater, the sources of solutes in natural and polluted environments, and isotopic tracing issues in biogeochemical cycles. The book provides a detailed introduction to dating methods for modern and ancient groundwater, illustrating the comprehensive application of these methods through case studies. For easy reference, it compiles important temperature-fractionation equations. This book holds significant reference value and practical application significance for teaching, scientific research, engineering technical personnel, and other relevant personnel in China engaged in the research and application of isotope hydrogeology.
