The central objective of
this lecture in a deeper understanding of mantle interaction. Topics include:
history of ocean basins, formation of MORBs and OIB's, mantle geochemistry,
mantle heterogeneity; slab recycling, mantle models.
This note explains the
following topics: acid or base and electrochemical concepts, aqueous
geochemistry and solid-water interactions with an emphasis on ground water,
chemical weathering, mineral thermodynamics and redox (Eh-pH) diagrams and their
applications to soil and mineral stability and ground water chemistry, modeling,
environmental geochemistry and isotopes applied to groundwaters.
This book
brings together the knowledge from a variety of topics within the field of
geochemistry. The audience for this book consists of a multitude of scientists
such as physicists, geologists, technologists, petroleum engineers,
volcanologists, geochemists and government agencies. The topics represented
facilitate as establishing a starting point for new ideas and further
contributions.
This note describes the following topics:
Physics of the Nucleus and Radioactive Decay, Nucleosynthesis, Geochronology,
Radiogenic Isotope Geochemistry, Cosmogenic Isotopes in Geochronology, Fission
Track Dating, Isotope Cosmochemistry, Stable Isotope Geochemistry.
