Non-Traditional Isotope Geochemistry

3 credits

Provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles, methods, and applications of non-traditional stable isotopes in understanding planetary, geological, and biological processes. Focuses on emerging isotope systems of potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), and iron (Fe), and explores how they are utilized to study the Earth's history, planetary accretion and differentiation, and biological cycles.
