Geochemistry

Type: Book

As of November 2026, Geochemistry has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Morbid | Podcast (Aug 2025). Whitney pairs geochemistry with paleontology as her PhD focus, part of her identity in the story.

Geochemistry is the science that uses the tools and principles of chemistry to explain the mechanisms behind major geological systems such as the Earth's crust and its oceans. The realm of geochemistry extends beyond the Earth, encompassing the entire Solar System, and has made important contributions to the understanding of a number of processes including mantle convection, the formation of planets and the origins of granite and basalt. It is an integrated field of chemistry and geology.
