Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta publishes research on the geochemistry and cosmochemistry of Earth and planetary materials. Articles investigate the isotopic composition and elemental fluxes of geological systems, including oceanic and continental crust, Earth's mantle, and sedimentary environments. The journal also explores the use of geochemical proxies to reconstruct past environmental conditions, such as ocean redox states, methane emissions, and paleoclimates, and examines the processes of mineral formation and element cycling.
