Description:
Applied Geochemistry is an international journal devoted to publication of original research papers, rapid research communications
and selected review papers in
geochemistry and
urban geochemistry which have some practical application to an aspect of
human endeavour, such as the preservation of the
environment, environmental monitoring,
agriculture,
health,
waste
disposal and the search for
resources. Papers on applications of inorganic, organic and isotope geochemistry are therefore
welcome provided they meet the main criterion.
Topics covered include: (1) Environmental geochemistry (including natural and anthropogenic
aspects, and protection and remediation strategies); (2) Hydrogeochemistry, surface and groundwater; (3) Medical geochemistry; (4) Agricultural
geochemistry; (5) The search for energy resources (oil, gas, coal, uranium and geothermal energy); (6) the search for mineral deposits
(metalliferous and non metalliferous); (7) Upgrading of energy and mineral resources where there is a direct geochemical application;
(8) Waste disposal including the specific topic of nuclear waste disposal.
