Improved understanding of the Earth’s water cycle is a key element of global efforts to develop policies and practices for the sustainable management of water resources. Isotope and nuclear techniques have provided unmatched insights into the processes governing the water cycle and its variability under past and present climates. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) convened the first symposium on isotope hydrology in 1963. As isotope hydrology developed as an independent discipline, the IAEA symposia, convened every four years, provided a vehicle to review the state of the science and discuss future developments. Proceedings of these symposia contain classical papers that still form the basis of a number of applications in hydrology and inspire current research. <...>

This book contains a comprehensive presentation of all aspects of isotope geoscience and is intended to be used in universities and colleges as a textbook in lecture courses for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students in the earth sciences. In addition, this book will serve as a source of information for professionals in the earth sciences and related disciplines. The encyclopedic function of this book is enhanced by a detailed table of contents and by author and subject indexes. The book also contains a large number of original diagrams with extended captions that facilitate browsing and convey information without requiring close reading of the text. In addition, each chapter contains cross-references to other parts of the book where related information can be found <...>
