APPLIED GEOCHEMISTRY

Applied Geochemistry is an international journal devoted to publication of original research papers, rapid research communications and selected review papers in geochemistry and cosmochemistry 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.
