What are the relative contributions of these two sources Two approaches have been taken. One is to establish the geology and hydrology of a basin in great detail. This has been carried out for the Amazon (Stallard and Edmond, 1981) with the result that evaporites contribute about twice as much sulfate as sulfide oxidation. The other approach is to apply sulfur isotope geochemistry. As mentioned earlier, there are two relatively abundant stable isotopes of S, and The mean 34/32 ratio is 0.0442. However, different source rocks have different ratios, which arise from slight differences in the reactivities of the isotopes. These deviations are expressed as a difference from a standard, in the case of sulfur the standard being a meteorite found at Canyon Diablo, Arizona.

Here, the main theory of so-called gas phase IRMS, which is directed toward determination of variations in stable isotope compositions of elements (e.g., C, H, N, O, S, Cl) by analyzing the gases (i. e., C02, H2, N2,02, S02, etc.) are reviewed. Lichtfouse and Budzinski [621] have presented a brief description of the techniques and an account of their applications in organic geochemistry. Although the most demanding applications of IRMS involve determinations of... 

Chapter 1 is intended to provide an overview of basic concepts of stable isotope geochemistry that are applicable to the chapters that follow on specific topics and isotopic systems. There are a number of excellent reviews of stable isotope geochemistry that have tended to focus on H, C, O, and S, including two prior volumes of Reviews in Mineralogy and...
