ochemical and isotopic record of anthropogenic
tivities – Thematic issue dedicated to Jean Carignan
965–2012). Part 2: Traditional and non-traditional
able isotopes
The second volume of the thematic issue of C. R.
science on the ‘‘Geochemical and isotopic approaches
eloped for tracing the impacts of anthropogenic
ivity on the environment’’ is devoted to the approaches
ed on the use and development of stable isotopes to
cribe the functioning of ecosystems and hydrosystems
ell as their perturbation by anthropogenic activities.
s volume is comprised of nine papers, including papers
both traditional isotopes (C, H, O, N, S) and the so-called
w stable isotopes’’.
The first three papers are examples of the use of
itional isotopes to study water dynamics and nitrate
 sulfate biogeochemical cycling in hydro- and agro-
tems. In the first article, Brenot et al. (2015) compare
pling protocols for soil solutions by two different
thods, and evidence that each protocol samples
erent water reservoirs, with different hydrological
amics, the study of which is important for the
erstanding of chemical dynamics in agricultural
tems. In their paper, Paul et al. (2015) focus on nitrate
amics in a cultivated catchment and give an example of
 use of nitrogen isotopes for describing such dynamics.
 third article (by Harker et al., 2015) demonstrates how
pled geochemical and isotopic studies are important to
ntify sources of water, nitrates and sulfates at a river
in scale. The following six papers are devoted to the use
non-traditional stable isotopes. The first paper by
archand et al. (2015) highlights the potential of B
ope analyses coupled with that of Sr and major element
tents to understand water–rock interactions in an
ifer. The following two papers report the use of Hg
opes at two different scales. Whereas Wang et al.
15) use Hg isotopes to identify the source of Hg
cipitated in urban rainfall, Štrok et al. (2015) present
the first data of coastal seawater Hg composition in the
Canadian Artic Archipelago while showing the artefacts
resulting from the sample conditioning. The last three
papers illustrate various applications of metal isotopes
such as Fe and Zn to environmental issues, whether it be at
a river scale (Escoube et al., 2015) or in plants and soils,
which play an important role in metal isotopic fraction-
ation in the critical zone, as shown by Couder et al. (2015)
for Zn and by Arnold et al. (2015) for both Fe and Zn.
This second volume1 as well as the first one (see
Chabaux et al., 2015) features how large is the field in
which various geochemical tools can be applied as well as
the diversity of the issues they help to tackle. As the first
one, it is dedicated to our colleague and friend Jean
Carignan (1965–2012) who got deeply involved during his
too short scientific career in developing geochemical and
isotopic tools capable of tracing anthropogenic impacts on
the environment.
