Focusing on isotope analysis, this volume explores its significance in organic geochemistry and applied sciences. It covers the fundamentals of isotopes and fractionation processes, highlighting applications in environmental biodegradation and fossil matter correlations. The textbook aids students in grasping the interplay between geoscientific, analytical, and chemical aspects of isotopes within complex natural systems. Key themes include the role of isotopes in essential processes like photosynthesis, the global water cycle, and biotic degradation.

This issue introduces fundamental analytical procedures in Organic Geochemistry, covering sampling, sample treatment, and techniques like mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy. It aims to familiarize readers with analytical methods, their applications, and standard data evaluation practices, while highlighting potential pitfalls and standard operating procedures.

This third volume focusses on anthropogenic organic pollutants harming the environment. For such a flexible usage this textbook series 'Fundamentals in Organic Geochemistry' consists of different volumes with clear defined aspects and with manageable length.
