Applied geochemistry in the twenty-first century: mineral exploration and environmental surveys


Δημοσιευμένα: Jan 1, 2001

Περίληψη

Applied (exploration and environmental) geochemistry in the twentieth century is briefly reviewed, and its future developments in the twenty-first century are envisaged in the light of advances in analytical instruments (laboratory and field) and computer technology. It is concluded that applied geochemical methods must be used by well-trained applied geochemists, and the potential for future developments is limited only by their ingenuity.
