Global Geochemistry Community Survey
We have an urgent need to better understand the international geochemical community and to advocate for reforms that will shape the future of our discipline. To build knowledge and enhance prospects for all geochemists, we ask you to help by participating in the Global Geochemistry Community Survey. The survey is completely anonymous and takes up to 15-20 minutes of your time.
To help us achieve the highest possible participation, please also share access to this survey among your geochemistry colleagues within and outside academia. Geochemists who are not members of the European Association of Geochemistry and/or Geochemical Society are invited to contribute too.
Send in your press release and share your research across the community
Has your university, funding body or project team recently published a press release related to your research? Send the details to us using this simple form, and we will share it on our Members Forum, on our social media channels, and in our monthly newsletters, which together reach thousands of geochemists around the world!

Rock archive: How rocks can tell us about the Earth's past
[By Kärt Paiste and Ichiko Sugiyama / Rock Archive] The main tool in reconstructing Earth’s environmental history is – rocks! In order to explore the ‘rock archive,’ we must first understand what kind of stories different types of rocks can tell us!
[By Emmanuel Daanoba Sunkari] It was such an exciting time at the Mediterranean Geosciences Union Annual Meeting- 2021 (MedGU-21) held in the lively city of Istanbul, Turkey from 25 – 28 November 2021. MedGU-21 was born from the remarkable success of the first three meetings of the Conference of...
Early differentiation of magmatic iron meteorite parent bodies from Mn–Cr chronometry
Magmatic iron meteorite groups such as IIAB, IIIAB and IVA, represent the largest sampling of extraterrestrial core material from the earliest accreted distinct planetary bodies in the solar system. Chromium isotope...
In situ redox control and Raman spectroscopic characterisation of solutions below 300 °C
Redox reactions often occur and significantly affect many geological processes. To simulate redox reactions in low temperature (T < 400 °C) hydrothermal experiments, fused silica was used as a hydrogen membrane...
Crustal controls on light noble gas isotope variability along the Andean Volcanic Arc
This study combines new noble gas data from fluid inclusions in minerals from Sabancaya, Ubinas, and El Misti (CVZ, Peru) and Villarica (South Chile, SVZ) with a revised noble gas compilation in the Andes, to identify...
Decoupling of dissolved and particulate Li isotopes during estuarine processes
Lithium isotopes in marine authigenic or detrital sedimentary archives have been recently used to trace continental weathering over geologic timescales. However, interpretations are predominantly based...
Hot news from two billion years ago: plankton actually moved mountains
[The Guardian] The mighty forces that created our planet’s mountains in ancient days got some unexpected help, scientists have discovered. Their research shows some of Earth’s greatest ranges got a boost from primitive lifeforms whose remains lubricated movements of rock slabs and allowed them...
Not Just Water, There Could be Frozen Carbon Dioxide on the Moon too
[UniverseToday] Despite all its wonderful properties, water isn’t the only resource needed for space exploration. Carbon is another important ingredient for many necessary materials, such as steel, rocket fuel, and biomaterials. Therefore, proponents of lunar exploration should be excited by a recent...
Cheap and rugged optical fibers are revealing Earth’s hidden motions
[Science] In August, as Iceland’s long summer days began to wane, Sölvi Thrastarson made his 10th visit to a volcano so young it lacks a name. Since it began to erupt in March on a peninsula a short drive south of Reykjavík, the volcano has drawn flocks of tourists to its fiery but relatively tame...
One Feature Mars has That we Don’t: Polar Megadunes
[UniverseToday] For fans of astrophotography, Kevin M. Gill needs no introduction. Even if you’re not up on the latest astronomical news and developments, chances are you’ve still seen some of his images over the years. From beautiful artist renditions to breathtaking photographs of far-off planets...
[Climate Now] What if we could remove the carbon we have emitted into the atmosphere? Can we capture our CO2 emissions before they are even released? Turns out we can, and we have been doing it for 50 years. The technology is called carbon capture and storage, or CCS. CCS technology will...
Thwaites: Antarctic glacier heading for dramatic change
[BBC] Scientists are warning of dramatic changes at one of the biggest glaciers in Antarctica, potentially within the next five to 10 years. They say a floating section at the front of Thwaites Glacier that until now has been relatively stable could "shatter like a car windscreen". US and UK researchers are...
