Contributions to Geochemistry

As part of its Golden Jubilee celebrations, the Geological Society of India organized a National Symposium on ‘Significant milestones in the growth of Geochemistry in India during the 50 year period: 1958-2008’. Comprising over 25 select presentations of the event, this symposium volume brings to focus the contributions of the active research groups of the country in several thrust areas such as trace element geochemistry, isotope geochemistry, Precambrian geochemistry, applied geochemistry, geochemistry of ore deposits, hydro-geochemistry, organic geochemistry, environmental geochemistry and geochemical instrumentation. The peer reviewed research papers are rich with new data set generated in the field as well as in the laboratory and have been appended with prolific references for further reading. Researchers and professional earth scientists from over the world should find the volume as a valuable reference source.
