Geochemistry and Geochronology of Mineral Deposits

This special issue belongs to the section “Geochemistry“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Geochemistry and geochronology are powerful yet elegant techniques helping us to decipher the formation processes and conditions of a variety of mineral deposits. This Special Issue of Geosciences invites submissions that apply geochemistry (major and trace elements, stable and radiogenic isotopes, both on whole rock and on minerals) and geochronology (40Ar/39Ar, U/Pb, Rb/Sr) on a wide variety of mineral deposits and in a novel and original way. Submissions on novel developments, techniques and applications, review and critique papers, and papers documenting examples of successful applications are all welcome.

Dr. Paul Alexandre
Guest Editor
