Isotope geochemistry is a branch of geochemistry that studies the distribution and abundances of isotopes within geological materials. Isotopes are variants of chemical elements that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different atomic masses. There are stable isotopes, which do not change over time, and radioactive isotopes, which decay over time into other elements or isotopes.
