This book takes an in-depth look at the theory and methods inherent in the tracing of riverine sediments.  Examined tracers include multi-elemental concentration data, fallout radionuclides (e.g., 210Pb, 137Cs, 7Be), radiogenic isotopes (particularly those of Pb, Sr, and Nd), and novel (“non-traditi...
