Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the geochemistry of extraterrestrial materials, including meteorites and asteroid samples, focusing on their organic matter, mineralogy, and isotopic compositions. It also covers the geochemistry of terrestrial processes such as seawater-rock interactions, volcanic eruptions, and diagenesis, with an emphasis on elemental and isotopic analysis of minerals and rocks. Studies investigate the behavior of elements like iron, platinum group elements, rare earth elements, and mercury in various geological and planetary environments, as well as analytical techniques for their determination.
