About The Product

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series.

This Monograph consists of a series of papers that were presented at a Symposium on Isotopes in the Hydrologic Cycle held on the University of Illinois campus on November 10-12, 1965, for which the Illinois State Water Survey served as the local host. This collection of papers on research and the application of isotopes in hydrology represents the current state of knowledge. In a few instances where speakers at the Symposium had published substantially similar papers elsewhere, only summaries of these reports are reproduced herein along with a reference to the original publications. Many of the papers, especially the contributions from other countries, were invited by the Committee.
