COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Geochemistry. It covers the applications of geochemistry in environmental and planetary science; the earth’s composition and periodic table in geochemistry; the isotopes and geochemistry; the chemical bonding and mineral stability; the analytical methods in geochemistry, carbon cycle, nitrogen and sulfur cycles; and the thermodynamics in geochemistry, geochemical kinetics, aqueous geochemistry and geochemical modelling.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the mineral chemistry and igneous, sedimentary & metamorphic geochemistry; the geochemistry of hydrothermal systems, geochemical tracers in petrology and environmental geochemistry; the geochemistry of the atmosphere, water resources, resource exploration and forensic geochemistry; the geochemistry and climate change, isotope geochemistry, geochemistry of planetary bodies and organic geochemistry; and the geochemical hazards, big data in geochemistry and future directions in geochemistry.
