DESCRIPTION
Radiogenic and stable isotopes are used widely in the Earth Sciences to determine the ages of the rocks and minerals, meteorites and archaeological objects, and as traces to understand geological and environmental processes. Isotope methods determine the age of the earth, help to reconstruct the climate of the past, explain the formation of the chemical elements in the Universe. Isotope geochemistry provides unique information of the evolution of our Planet Earth since 4.5 Ga ago and variations in the isotopic ratios are the clues to our understanding of the origin and history of gasses, liquids and solid material on Earth and the physical-chemical-biological processes that have been and still are active in our dynamic System Earth.
