Treatise on Geochemistry
The application of chemistry to the study of the Earth has ancient roots. In the 20th century the subject became the organized and identifiable discipline called geochemistry, largely due to the pioneering work of F.W. Clarke, V.M. Goldschmidt, partly because of innovations in instrumentation, sampling techniques, and methodology, partly because of new theoretical insights. The Treatise on Geochemistry seeks to present a comprehensive, integrated summary of the present state of the field.
Nine volumes deal with the several major parts of geochemistry. The tenth is dedicated to sets of tables and a detailed subject index. The volumes and their editors are:
Volume 1. Meteorites, Comets, and Planets - Andrew M. Davis
Volume 2. The Mantle and Core - Richard W. Carlson
Volume 3. The Crust - Roberta L. Rudnick
Volume 4. The Atmosphere - Ralph F. Keeling
Volume 5. Surface and Ground Water, Weathering, and Soils - James I. Drever
Volume 6. The Oceans and Marine Geochemistry - Henry Elderfield
Volume 7. Sediments, Diagenesis, and Sedimentary Rocks - Fred T. Mackenzie
Volume 8. Biogeochemistry - William H. Schlesinger
Volume 9. Environmental Geochemistry - Barbara Sherwood Lollar
Volume 10. Indexes
Each volume consists of fifteen to twenty five chapters written by recognized authorities in their fields, and chosen by the Volume Editors in consultation with the Executive Editors. Particular emphasis has been placed on integrating the subject matter of the individual chapters and the several volumes. The subject index is designed to provide ready access to this integration.
The Treatise on Geochemistry is planned for publication in December 2003 (in print). The Online Edition of the Treatise on Geochemistry will be available on ScienceDirect in Spring 2004.
