Special Issue Information
Dear colleague,
The 11th national conference on Applied Geochemistry, to be held in Nanchang, Jiangxi province, China, in October 2026, will be hosted by the Committee of Applied Geochemistry, Chinese Society for Mineralogy, Petrology and Geochemistry (CSMPG). In order to facilitate academic exchange on applied geochemistry, this Special Issue aims to present the latest approaches being adopted in the field of applied geochemistry.
This Special Issue will publish high-quality, original research papers on the following topics:
Geochemical exploration and resource geochemistry;
Geochemical surveys and environmental geochemistry;
Agricultural and ecological geochemistry;
The geochemistry of geohealth and geological disaster response;
Applied geochemistry in other social services;
Fluid composition in volcanic and hydrothermal environments;
Isotope geochemistry applied to climate change;
Geochemical monitoring applied to seismic hazards.
