anomaly recognition has always been a prominent subject in preliminary geochemical explorations. among the regional geochemical data processing, there are a range of statistical and data mining techniques as well as different mapping methods, which serve as presentations of the outputs. the outlier’s values are of interest in the investigations where data are gathered under controlled condition...

Geochemical data are vital for understanding Earth’s past, present and future. However, currently only a fraction of geochemical findable, accessible, interoperable reusable, limiting their use in the broadest range scientific studies. There is an urgent need international coordination methods to unlock full research potential.

Application of multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS) has led to big breakthrough of analytical methods for metal stable isotopes, resulting in rapid progresses in non-traditional stable isotope geochemistry. As a new geological tracer, Mg isotopes have been widely applied in studies of almost all important disciplines of geochemistry. High precision Mg isotope...

Elemental analysis has played an important role in the characterization of soils since inception of the soil survey in the US. Recent efforts in analysis of trace and major elements (geochemistry) have provided necessary data to soil survey users in a variety of areas. The first part of this paper provides a brief overview of elemental sources, forms, mobility, and bioavailability; critical asp...
