A field of geochemistry involves survey of the chemical composition of the Earth and other planets, chemical processes & responses that govern a composition of rocks and soils, & a rounds of matter and energy that shipping a Globe's chemicals eventually & space, & their interaction by using a hydrosphere & a atmosphere.

A first fields of geochemistry come:

  • Isotope geochemistry: Determination of the relative and absolute concentrations of the elements and their isotopes in the earth & in earth´s surface.
  • Examination of the distribution & movements of elements inside different area of the globe (crust, mantle, hydrosphere etc.) & within minerals using a goal to determine a underlying legalities of distribution & movement.
  • Cosmochemistry: Analysis of the distribution of elements and their isotopes in the cosmos .
  • Organic geochemistry: A survey of the role of processes & compounds that come from either dwelling or even when-residing parasites.
  • Applications to Environmental & Hydrological studies.

    A human considered by virtually all to exist as a father of modern geochemistry was Victor Goldschmidt, and a ideas of the subject were formed by him around a series of publications from either 1922 under the title ‘Geochemische Verteilungsgesetze 500 Elemente’.

    • Touchstones-Gold Collaborative Research
    Research site focused on exploration for Archean gold-bearing silicate systems in Ontario. Current research approaches are listed. Collaboration requests can be filed on-line.
