500 _aThis textbook is a complete rewrite, and expansion of Hugh Rollinson's highly successful 1993 book Using Geochemical Data: Evaluation, Presentation, Interpretation. Rollinson and Pease's new book covers the explosion in geochemical thinking over the past three decades, as new instruments and techniques have come online. It provides a comprehensive overview of how modern geochemical data are used in the understanding of geological and petrological processes. It covers major element, trace element, and radiogenic and stable isotope geochemistry. It explains the potential of many geochemical techniques, provides examples of their application, and emphasizes how to interpret the resulting data. Additional topics covered include the critical statistical analysis of geochemical data, current geochemical techniques, effective display of geochemical data, and the application of data in problem solving and identifying petrogenetic processes within a geological context. It will be invaluable for all graduate students, researchers, and professionals using geochemical techniques. Combines basic reference material associated with petrological and petrogenetic processes into a single volume on geochemical techniques Presents completely up-to-date methodology, supporting data, and worked examples to help the reader make the most of their own data Describes the latest procedures associated with geochemical statistical methods, mineral distribution coefficients, and tectonic discrimination diagrams Reports the significant advances that have been made in geochemical research over the past three decades, including in geochemical instrumentation, the statistical treatment of geochemical data, geochemical computer modelling, and the development of new isotopic and stable isotope methodologies
