Handbook of Stable Isotope Analytical Techniques, volume 1

edited by P. A. de Groot, 2007

This hefty tome reviews analytical techniques for a large range of stable isotopes. Part 1 includes contributions on analytical techniques and Part 2 includes matters such as development of mass spectrometers, stability of ion sources, standards and calibration, correction procedures and experimental methods to obtain isotopic fractionation factors.  Includes a chapter by our own Bruce Vaughn, Dominic Ferretti, and James White, “Stable isotope measurements of atomospheric CO2 and CH4.”

 

Applied Groundwater Modeling: Simulation of Flow and Advective Transport

by Mary Anderson and William Woessner, 2002

This text describes the science and art of applying numerical models of groundwater flow and advective transport of solutes, including how to formulate a conceptual model of a system and translate it into a numerical model; the application of modeling principles with special attention to PLASM, MODFLOW, and AQUIFEM-1; model calibration, verification and validation; and pathline analysis for tracking contaminants with reference to particle tracking codes.

 

The Nordic Seas: An Integrated Perspective

edited by Helge Drange et al., 2006

The Nordic Seas comprise a small area of the world’s oceans but contribute greatly to key climate processes and variations.  As the site of the largest positive temperature anomaly among the world’s oceans, the Nordic Seas also allow scientists a place for research rich in detail, diversity, and implication.  This book presents new models, observations, and perspectives on the oceanography, paleoceanography, meteorology, and biogeochemistry associated with the Norwegian, Iceland, and Greenland Seas.
