[1]: 1 The realm of geochemistry extends beyond the Earth, encompassing the entire Solar System, [2] 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. [1]: 1 It is an integrated field of chemistry and geology.
The geochemical cycle encompasses the natural separation and concentration of elements and heat-assisted recombination processes. Changes may not be apparent over a short term, such as with biogeochemical cycles , but over a long term changes of great magnitude occur, including the evolution of continents and oceans.

Susan L. Brantley (born 1958) is an American geologist and geochemist who is the Dr. Hubert Barnes and Dr. Mary Barnes Professor at Pennsylvania State University. [1] Her research dominantly studies interactions between fluids and minerals at low temperatures, biological reactions in water-rich fluids within soils, and the geochemical processes that convert rock into soil.
Geochemical modeling is used in a variety of fields, including environmental protection and remediation, [1] the petroleum industry, and economic geology. [2] Models can be constructed, for example, to understand the composition of natural waters; the mobility and breakdown of contaminants in flowing groundwater or surface water; the ion speciation of plant nutrients in soil and of regulated ...
Global distillation or the Grasshopper effect is the geochemical process by which certain chemicals, most notably persistent organic pollutants (POPs), are vaporized and transported from warmer to colder regions of the Earth, particularly the poles and mountain tops, where they condense.
It concerns the role of microbes on geological and geochemical processes and effects of minerals and metals to microbial growth, activity and survival. [2] Such interactions occur in the geosphere (rocks, minerals, soils, and sediments), the atmosphere and the hydrosphere . [ 3 ]
