Summary

This is a unique collection of reviews of the significance of geochemistry in the earth sciences, with contributions from a range of internationally distinguished scientists. It deals with both the historical contribution (Part 1) and the current and likely future importance of the subject in dealing with key environmental issues (Part 2)The book is based on contributions given to the 2008 IGC session with same name: Provides the most comprehensive review of the scope and achievements of modern geochemistry in a form accessible to and affordable by students (advanced undergraduates and graduates) The contributors are all world leaders in their particular field Co-published with the IAGC - the worlds premiere learned society for the geochemistry community. The only affordable and single-volume overview of the entire subject.

Contribution of geochemistry to the study of the Planet: Today and tomorrow
This Part will consider current and future developments in geochemistry and how the rapidly-evolving analytical tools and approaches used by geochemists may be used to solve emerging environmental and other societal problems. Topics of interest include: emerging geochemical and microanalytical techniques, the future of stable isotope geochemistry of light and metal elements, microbial geochemistry, nanogeochemistry, mineral surface geochemistry, molecular environmental geochemistry, medical geochemistry, forensic geochemistry, archaeological geochemistry, urban geochemistry, hydrogeochemistry of pharmaceuticals, hormones and other organic contaminants, human geochemical impacts on the natural environment, geochemistry of landscape dynamics, geochemistry of radioactive waste disposal, geochemistry of carbon sequestration, and geochemical contributions to understanding global change
