Thoroughly updated to include exciting discoveries from spacecraft missions and laboratory analyses, as well as new teaching resources.
How did the Solar System's chemical composition evolve? This textbook provides the answers in the first interdisciplinary introduction to cosmochemistry. It makes this exciting and evolving field accessible to undergraduate and graduate students from a range of backgrounds, including geology, chemistry, astronomy and physics. The authors - two established leaders who have pioneered developments in the field - provide a complete background to cosmochemical processes and discoveries, enabling students outside geochemistry to understand and explore the Solar System's composition. Topics covered include: - synthesis of nuclides in stars - partitioning of elements between solids, liquids and gas ...
Written by a pioneer in the field, here is coverage of the principles of the chemical composition of the solar system. Based on the author's course, entitled ''Introduction to Cosmochemistry, '' the text is written with the student in mind. It outlines elementary background in relation to earth and planetary sciences, considering cosmochemical problems while focusing on the structure, chemical elements and isotopes of the matter from which our solar system is formed
