Field-based research on naturally occurring arsenic contamination of surface waters and
groundwaters and the mechanisms of contamination are reviewed. The distribution of …

The distribution of As in a variety of sample materials was studied at different scales, from
continental to local, combining published data sets with the aim of delineating the impact …

CO2-consumption by chemical weathering of silicates and resulting silicate/carbonate
weathering ratios influences long-term climate changes. However, little is known of the …

This paper provides a history of the development of regional geochemical mapping. Modern
geochemistry was born in the Soviet Union in the 1930s, and the basic methodologies for …

Prediction of CO2-consumption by chemical weathering is important to understand the
global carbon cycle, and island arcs are assumed to contribute significantly to the transfer of …

Abstract The 76-element Geochemical Mapping (76 GEM) Project was undertaken in
southwestern China in 2000 and in southeastern China in 2008. In this project, 5244 …

Mineral concentrations of onions (Allium cepa L.) grown under various conditions, including
factors (fertilization, crop year, variety, and provenance), were investigated to clarify how …

Although the quest for Earth's oldest rock is of great importance, identifying the youngest
exposed pluton on Earth is also of interest. A pluton is a body of intrusive igneous rock that …

The terrestrial surface, the “skin of the earth”, is an important interface for global
(geochemical) material fluxes between major reservoirs of the Earth system: continental and …

Some 434 stream sediment samples were collected in Central Japan for a nationwide
geochemical mapping project. The resulting geochemical maps are compared with …
