Features: This book primarily focuses on the theoretical development of geochemistry in new directions, starting from the random movement of atoms in geological bodies. It establishes the probability equation for the transfer of chemical elements in geological bodies, providing formulas for the spatial distribution of elements, the distribution of element content, and the distribution of element accumulation. Additionally, it introduces the principle of discovery and establishes the process of discovery, thereby making this objective coupled process an integral part of the theory. These theoretical frameworks enable various applications in statistical geochemistry. The book serves as a reference for geochemists engaged in research, as well as for graduate students and advanced undergraduate students in geochemistry, and is particularly valuable for geochemical workers involved in mineral exploration.
