GEOE534 — Isotope Geochemistry
GEOE 534 - Isotope Geochemistry GEOE 534 - Isotope Geochemistry 3 credits (Hrs: 3 Lec.) Topics include light stable isotopes (H, C, O, N, S), environmental tracers (tritium, CFCs, radon), age-dating (C-14, U-Pb, Ar-Ar), and stable isotopes of heavy metals (Cu, Fe). Applications to hydrogeology, environmental geochemistry, and economic geology. Students will learn to critically read and understand technical journal articles that present and discuss isotopic data, and will be encouraged to find applications to their own research. Generally every 2nd year.
Prerequisites: CHMY141, CHMY143
