Features: This book can be used as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in universities and colleges. It is also suitable for teachers and researchers engaged in geochemical teaching and research in the fields of resources, energy, ecology, environment, and disasters. The book, excluding the introduction, is divided into thirteen chapters and can be broadly categorized into three parts. The first part elaborates on the fundamental theories of geochemistry. This includes basic issues in cosmochemistry; the structure and composition of Earth's various layers; fundamental principles of crystal chemistry and thermodynamics; stable isotope geochemistry and isotopic geochronology; organic geochemistry, as well as the geochemical behavior of elements in aqueous solutions. The second part provides a detailed discussion of geochemical problems in various geological processes. It focuses on the distribution, migration, concentration, and dispersion of elements, as well as the application of elements and isotopes in tracing various geochemical processes during weathering, sedimentation, diagenesis, metamorphism, and magmatic processes. The third part introduces element geochemical cycles related to global change. Each chapter includes exercises and references, and an index of geochemical terms is provided at the end of the book for readers' self-study or further research.
