Tracking Environmental Change Using Lake Sediments Volume 2: Physical and Geochemical Methods
Tracking Environmental Change Using Lake Sediments Volume 2: Physical and Geochemical Methods by William M. Last, published by Springer Science & Business Media on June 30, 2002, spans 504 pages and is presented in English. This volume is part of a series that explores advancements in paleolimnology, focusing on the physical and geochemical methods used to analyze lake sediments. It covers a range of topics, including theory, instrumentation, and various analytical techniques that contribute to understanding environmental changes over time.
Readers will find detailed discussions on methods such as NIR analysis of sediment samples and stable isotope techniques applied to inorganic and biogenic carbonates. The book also addresses the applications of these methods in paleohydrology and provides insights into future research directions. With its comprehensive approach to the subject matter, this edition serves as a valuable resource for those interested in earth sciences, hydrology, and the chemistry of lake sediments.
