Current Research in Geochemistry

Geochemistry is an integrated field of chemistry and geology. It deals with the tools and principles of chemistry in order to explain the mechanisms behind major geological systems such as the Earth's crust and its oceans. The domain of geochemistry extends beyond the Earth, covering the entire Solar System, and has made crucial contributions to the understanding of a number of processes. A few of such processes are mantle convection, planet formation, and the origins of granite and basalt....
