Geochemistry at the Institute of Geological Science
Welcome to the Geochemistry Group
We integrate isotopes and the chemical composition of rocks, sediments and water with field and other data to understand planetary evolution processes.
We train students and scientists in chemistry and clean lab methods and in mass spectrometry: hands-on experience guaranteed.
Big research questions pose challenges but are also fun to work on:
- Origin and evolution of the terrestrial planets and the early solar system
- The chemical and geodynamic evolution of the Earth’s crust and mantle from the Hadean to the present
- Controls on the chemical budgets and rates of weathering in the Earth’s near-surface system
