This book deals with the nature, characteristics and capabilities of mass spectrometry to determine the isotopic ratios of light elements (H, C, N, O) of inorganic and organic compounds with extremely high accuracy. The method allows one to identify the fundamental processes in biological, ecological and geological systems and to reveal subtle features of many physico-chemical processes and chemical transformations. Widely used in biology, ecology, medicine, forensics, archeology, geochemistry, geology, and to assess the quality of food, the scope has also expanded to areas like Martian exploration, early Earth, and climate change.
