"Geochemistry is the science that uses the tools and principles of chemistry to explain the mechanisms behind major geological systems such as the Earth's crust and its oceans."
The study of the chemical composition and behavior of rocks, minerals, soils, and water in the Earth's crust.
Basic Concepts of Geochemistry: Introduction to fundamental principles, concepts, and definitions of geochemistry.
The Earth's Interior: Composition and structure of the Earth's interior: crust, mantle, and core.
Rock-Forming Minerals: Minerals that make up the majority of Earth's crust; how they form and their chemical properties.
Water-Rock Interaction: The interaction of water with rocks and minerals, leading to chemical weathering, mineral dissolution, and precipitation.
Isotopes in Geochemistry: Study of isotopes and their applications in determining geological processes and environmental changes.
Environmental Geochemistry: The study of the impact of natural and anthropogenic processes on the environment, including soil and water quality, pollution and remediation.
Geochemical Cycles: The cycling of elements and compounds in Earth's biogeochemical systems, including the carbon cycle, water cycle, and nitrogen cycle.
Organic Geochemistry: The study of the distribution and fate of organic compounds in sedimentary environments and the impact of oil and gas exploration.
Geochemical Analysis: Methods used for analyzing rocks, minerals, and other geological samples to determine their chemical and isotopic composition.
Geochemical Modeling: Theoretical and numerical models used to simulate geochemical processes and predict the behavior of natural systems under different conditions.
"The realm of geochemistry extends beyond the Earth, encompassing the entire Solar System."
"[Geochemistry] has made important contributions to the understanding of a number of processes including mantle convection, the formation of planets, and the origins of granite and basalt."
"It is an integrated field of chemistry and geology."
