<p><b>Winner of the 2020 PROSE Award for Earth Science!</b></p> <p><b>E</b><b>xploring environmental changes through Earth’s geological history using chemostratigraphy</b></p> <p>Chemostratigraphy is the study of the chemical characteristics of different rock layers. Decoding this geochemical record across chronostratigraphic boundaries can provide insights into geological history, past climates, and sedimentary processes. <i>Chemostratigraphy Across Major Chronological Boundaries </i>presents state-of-the-art applications of chemostratigraphic methods and demonstrates how chemical signatures can decipher past environmental conditions.</p> <p>Volume highlights include: </p> <ul> <li>Presents a global perspective on chronostratigraphic boundaries</li> <li>Describes how different proxies can reveal distinct elemental and isotopic events in the geologic past</li> <li>Examines the Archaean-Paleoproterozoic, Proterozoic-Paleozoic, Paleozoic-Mesozoic, and Mesozoic-Paleogene boundaries</li> <li>Explores cause-and-effect through major, trace, PGE, and REE elemental, stable, and radiogenic isotopes</li> <li>Offers solutions to persistent chemostratigraphic problems on a micro-global scale</li> </ul> <p>Geared toward academic and researchgeoscientists, particularly in the fields of sedimentary petrology, stratigraphy, isotope geology, geochemistry, petroleum geology, atmospheric science, oceanography, climate change and environmental science, <i>Chemostratigraphy Across Major Chronological Boundaries </i>offers invaluable insights into environmental evolution and climatic change.<br /><br />Read the Editors’ Vox: <a href=”https://eos.org/editors-vox/unravelling-the-past-using-elements-and-isotopes”>https://eos.org/editors-vox/unravelling-the-past-using-elements-and-isotopes</a></p>
