Isotope Geochemistry

Isotope Geochemistry: The Origin and Formation of Manganese Rocks and Ores is an inclusive reference that features a wealth of supporting data, analysis, and interpretation on global manganese origins, formations, and deposits. Manganese is an important industrial chemical, critical for steel-making, and is also a strategic mineral, occurring in abundance only in selected countries. Further, it’s used effectively in CO2 sequestration, helping to mitigate greenhouse gas emission challenges around the world. For these reasons, exploration for manganese is very active, yet access to the primary academic literature can be a challenge, especially in field operations. Isotope Geochemistry brings this material together in a single source, making it the ideal all-in-one reference that presents the supporting data, analytics, and interpretation from known manganese deposits. Features coverage of the formation, origins, and deposits of manganese rocks and ores globally, arming geoscientists with a thorough reference on the subjectIncludes 170 figures and illustrations that visually capture key conceptsIncludes elusive data with supporting analysis and interpretation of deposits in Russia, one of the most robust geographic locations in the world for manganese rock and ore research
