BRANCHES OF GEOCHEMISTRY

The wide field of geochemistry includes: (1) Elemental geochemistry; (2) Mineral geochemistry; (3) Isotope geochemistry; (4) Cosmochemistry; (5) Geochemistry of igneous rocks; (6) Geochemistry of metamorphic rocks; (7) Geochemistry of sedimentary rocks; (8) Ore geochemistry; (9) Soil geochemistry; (10) Chemostratigraphy; (11) Biogeochemistry; (12) Photogeochemistry; (13) Hydrochemistry; (14) Atmospheric geochemistry; (15) Climate geochemistry; (16) Organic geochemistry; (17) Source rock geochemistry; (18) Reservoir geochemistry; (19) Coal geochemistry; (20) Environmental geochemistry; (21) Industrial geochemistry; (22) Medical geochemistry; (23) Analytical geochemistry; (24) Experimental geochemistry; (25) Exploration geochemistry; and (26) Geochemical engineering. Geochemistry has applications in many fields such as medicine, climate, environment, water quality, petroleum, mineral deposits, age dating, etc. This book is an explanation of the basics of the geochemical branches mentioned above.
