This volume is devoted to Earth surface environmental reconstructions & environmental changes that may be deciphered & modelled using stable isotopes along with mineralogical/chemical, sedimentological, palaeontological/biological & climatological methodologies. The book is divided into two sections, both using stable isotopes (D, 18O, 13C, d15N, 34S, clumped isotopes 47) in various samples & phases as the main research tool. The first section is devoted to studies focusing on the distribution of isotopes in precipitation, groundwater, lakes, rivers, springs, tap water, mine water & their relationship with terrestrial environments at regional to continental scale. In relation to this, the second section includes case studies from a range of continental settings, investigating cave deposits, animal skeletons, present & past soils & limestones.

The Cretaceous was a period characterized by very warm climate, oceanic anoxic and oxic events and enhanced volcanic activity. The end of the Cretaceous is punctuated by a well-documented meteoric impact and the extinction of, among other groups, the dinosaurs. This volume elucidates various aspects of Cretaceous marine and continental environmental conditions. The articles in this book present a broad range of interdisciplinary contributions, which are grouped into sections on marine environments (including anoxic and oxic events, volcanism and the Cretaceous-Paleocene boundary); mixed marine-freshwater environments and continental records. The isotopic data are combined with further geochemical, palaeontological, lithological and mineralogical proxies. The interdisciplinary approach offered here gives a solid investigation base for this fascinating period. There are examples from Europe, Asia, South and North America, and from the Early Cretaceous to the Cretaceous-Paleocene boundary--
