Description:
The journal Geochemistry: Exploration, Environment, Analysis (GEEA) ‘focuses on mineral exploration using geochemistry...’ ( http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/geea ). GEEA is well-known for geoanalysis, which involves development of techniques and methods for systematic measurements of the chemical properties of a variety of Earth materials (e.g. rocks, soils, sediments, waters, vegetation, etc.). The most common chemical property measured from every geochemical sample is the concentration of one or more elements. The task of analysing geochemical concentration data (or geochemical data in short) from mineral exploration programmes aims basically to identify and separate samples with anomalous chemical concentrations from samples with background chemical concentrations. GEEA has published at least 50 papers on exploration geochemical data analysis ( Appendix 1 ), which represent roughly 10% of all papers published in GEEA since its first issue in 2001. To contribute to the achievement of GEEA's aim, this thematic issue contains eight papers on the development of methods and techniques for exploration geochemical data analysis.
