Inorganic geochemistry explores the distribution, speciation and cycling of chemical elements in Earth’s crust, mantle, oceans and atmosphere. It addresses how minerals form and weather, how elements ...
Understanding the chemical processes affecting minerals, water, and air at high temperatures and pressures, typically deep below earth's surface. Specializing in high-precision isotopic analyses, ...
Analysis of recently discovered zircon crystals reveals a sharp change in Earth’s geochemistry around 3.8 billion years ago. Researchers studying the ancient crystals say the likely explanation is the ...
This research area includes the study of the processes (both inorganic and microbially mediated) that control the chemical composition of surface and ground waters. We have an active program tracing ...

Earthquakes pose significant threats to human well-being. Identifying effective precursors is crucial, and fluid geochemistry anomalies show promise in this regard. The IGCP project 724 is dedicated ...
How does the sound of a tiny Earth tremor differ from the sound of a huge passing whale? That is one of the things that scientists had to figure out while listening for the sound of methane release ...
Patrick G. Hatcher has received the 2005 ACS Geochemistry Division Medal. The award was presented by ACS President William F. Carroll during the recent ACS national meeting in San Diego. Hatcher is a ...
The plumbing systems of volcanoes are vast and complex. But they aren't consistent, even in the same volcano. A Cornell-led collaboration found very different mechanisms behind two historic eruptions ...
