2022 Global Geochemistry Survey – The Results Are In…

Geochemists work on diverse, societally relevant environmental challenges and drive fundamental understanding concerning Earth’s evolution and Solar System history. To develop creative, innovative approaches to solve these challenges, make important discoveries, and optimise productivity, it is essential to attract and retain a diverse workforce.  Read the survey results here.

New Geochemical Perspectives issue: ‘Carbon Capture and Storage: From Global Cycles to Global Solutions’

Limiting carbon emissions to the atmosphere and its effects on global warming are critical for the future of society. This issue, written by Eric H. Oelkers and Sigurdur R. Gislason, reviews the natural processes influencing atmospheric carbon concentrations and how we can use these lessons to potentially attenuate anthropogenic carbon emissions. Read more

Latest Elements: ‘Biomagnetism’

In this thematic issue of Elements, we look into biomagnetism and the production of magnetic minerals by microorganisms. In popular culture, this may have supernatural connotations; however, in reality, there are many microscopic biological organisms possessing magnetic behaviour owing to their formation of magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) such as magnetite (Fe3O4), maghemite (γ-Fe2O3), and greigite (Fe3S4). We look broadly at the relationship between biogenic MNP formation and biomagnetism… READ MORE
