Selenium Isotope Paleobiogeochemistry

Discover the fascinating world of selenium isotopes with Selenium Isotope Paleobiogeochemistry by Eva E. Stüeken, published by Cambridge University Press in 2020. This insightful book, spanning 30 pages, delves into the significant role of selenium isotopes as paleoenvironmental tracers. The high redox potential of selenium oxyanions (SeIV and SeVI), which are the predominant species in today’s oceans, is explored in depth. Stüeken highlights how the largest isotopic fractionations occur during the reduction of these oxyanions, making selenium isotopes a sensitive and valuable proxy for understanding the redox evolution of our planet. Perfect for students and researchers in chemistry and earth sciences, this paperback edition provides a comprehensive overview of the subject. Enhance your knowledge of paleobiogeochemistry and the intricate processes that shape our environment with this essential read.
