摘要
On the basis of Goldschmidt 2011, the advantages of geochemistry research are reviewed in three separate parts.The first parts is a review of five plenary presentations. The second part has 23 themes. The main research fields in each theme are described briefly. The subject matter for the third part of the review is biogeochemistry, in which biogeochemical cycling, organic matter turnover, methane cycling in marine and terrestrial environments, microbial catalysis of mineral dissolution and precipitation, bioavailability of trace elements in contaminated environments, biogeochemical processes in redox-dominated environments are the focus for discussion.
