Stable isotopes in high temperature geological processes / Стабильные изотопы в высокотемпературных геологических процессах

This volume on the stable isotope geochemistry of high temperature geologic processes is respectfully dedicated to Samuel Epstein, Professor of Geochemistry at the California Institute of Technology for the past 30 years. Although the topics of this volume encompass only a small range of the applications of stable isotope geocemistry to which Sam has been a major contributor, this sub-field was to a large degree originated by Sam and his first Ph.D. student, Bob Clayton, in the middle 1950's when they made their pioneering studies of oxygen isotope geochemistry and geothermometry of coexisting minerals in igneous and metamorphic rocks and ore deposits. <...>
