Synopsis "Lead Isotopes in Geology (in English)"
The book ""Lead Isotopes in Geology"" by Richard Doncaster Russell is a comprehensive guide to the use of lead isotopes in geological research. The book covers the basics of lead isotopes, including their properties and how they are used in geology. It also explores the various applications of lead isotopes in geology, including dating rocks and minerals, tracing the sources of ore deposits, and understanding the evolution of the Earth's crust.The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of lead isotopes in geology. The first section provides an introduction to lead isotopes, including their atomic structure and how they are formed. The second section explores the different isotopic systems that are used in geology, including the Pb-Pb, U-Pb, and Th-Pb systems.The third section of the book covers the application of lead isotopes in dating rocks and minerals. This section includes a detailed discussion of the different dating methods that are used, as well as the strengths and limitations of each method.The fourth section of the book explores the use of lead isotopes in tracing the sources of ore deposits. This section includes a discussion of the different types of ore deposits and how lead isotopes can be used to identify their sources.The final section of the book covers the use of lead isotopes in understanding the evolution of the Earth's crust. This section includes a discussion of the different processes that have shaped the Earth's crust over time, and how lead isotopes can be used to study these processes.Overall, ""Lead Isotopes in Geology"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the use of lead isotopes in geological research. It provides a comprehensive overview of the subject, including both the theory and practical applications of lead isotopes in geology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
