vi predominantly present on Earth in the-I oxidation state as chloride and bromide, and as a result oxidation-reduction processes that impose large isotope fractionation on other light stable isotopes are mostly absent. The range of measured isotope ratios rarely goes beyond 10‰, and about 80% of all published chlorine and bromine isotope measurements are between− 1‰ and+ 1‰ of the internationally accepted standard (ocean chloride and ocean bromide). Finally, I describe in this book the chlorine and bromine isotope variations that have been observed during the measurement of geological samples. This includes not only measurements on chlorine and bromine samples from Earth, but also extra-terrestrial material such as meteorites, rocks sampled on the moon, and in-situ measurements on extra-terrestrial bodies like Mars. Also samples with different oxidation states such as perchlorates and organic molecules are presented here. New in this edition is the discussion on chlorine isotope ratio measurements made of stars and interstellar space. Of course a book this size could not be easily written by a single author. I was lucky enough to have been able to work on the forefront of halogen isotope geochemical developments for a long time, from the start of my PhD appointment in May 1988 until the end of my final academic contract in December 2022. This was not possible without the enthusiasm of my teachers and senior collaborators, the most important of which were Rob Kreulen, Guus Koster van Groos, Max Coleman, Pierre Agrinier, José Manuel Marques, and Michael Marks. Thanks to them I was able to conduct my research at various renowned institutions in different countries in Europe. Since I am no longer working at an academic institution since 2023 I am very thankful to Utrecht University, especially to Prof. Jack Middelburg (coincidentally co-author on my first published paper from 1994), for allowing me to have digital access to the library of the University, so that I was able to actually access the non-open access scientific papers that are still being published. I also am very thankful to Pierre Agrinier for being the first to read the complete, finished manuscript and suggest many improvements to the manuscript. Finally, I am very grateful to my wife, Nina, who always supported me in my international jobs, being away from home most of the years past and for her continued support in writing this second edition. Although being home again since 2023, most of my free time I was working on writing this second edition, and for that reason it was not always easy to live a family life together. Nina, heel veel dank voor je geduld en je steun en je liefde al deze tijd, vooral in de moeilijke laatste paar jaren. The number of laboratories that have been involved in chlorine and bromine isotope studies has never been very large. I believe the number has hardly been more than ten to fifteen worldwide at any given time. It is hoped that the data provided in this book will further increase the interest in the study of chlorine and bromine isotopes and that more laboratories are going to realise the opportunities that investing time and resources in the study of chlorine and bromine isotopes can give a healthy reward. The equipment is present in virtually every isotope laboratory and with only small adoptions and a small investment every isotope geochemist who wishes can become part of the halogen isotope community.
