| Summary |
""Isotope Tracers in Catchment Hydrology" is the first synthesis of physical hydrology and isotope geochemistry with a catchment focus, and is a valuable reference for professionals and students alike in the fields of hydrology, hydrochemistry, and environmental science. This important interdisciplinary text provides extensive guidelines for the application of isotope techniques for all investigators facing the challenge of protecting precious water, soil, and ecological resources from the ever-increasing problems associated with population growth and environmental change, including those from urban development and agricultural land uses."--Jacket |
