Isotopes in Economic Geology, Metallogeny and Exploration—Future Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract Although the intent of this book is to provide readers with an overview on the current and past usage of isotopes in the broad disciplines of economic geology, metallogenesis and mineral exploration, some of the chapters highlight future challenges and opportunities for the use of both radiogenic and stable isotopes within these disciplines and more broadly. This concluding section identifies and then discusses how some of these challenges might be overcome and the opportunities that might be realized.
