“In geochemistry, we use the tools of chemistry to solve geological problem; that is, we use chemistry
to understand the Earth and how it works” - Christian Friedrich Schönbein in 1838

”…it is somehow the marriage of

the fields of geology and
chemistry.”

With geochemistry, we can…

• Quantify the geological time-scale
• Determine depths and temperature of magma chambers
• Recognize mantle plumes
• Understand how sediments can be subducted into the mantle
• Determine the temperature and pressure at which various
metamorphic rock type forms by inferring ancient faults
• Determine when and how the Earth’s crust were formed.
• Etc
