| Summary |
|---|
The course is devoted to the provides of geochemistry. Study of migration of
chemical elements in nature and environment is based on the properties of
chemical elements and mineral phases. The course includes lithogeochemistry,
hydrogeochemistry and environmental applications of geochemistry, The
practical training includes geochemical maps, sampling and analysis of
geochemical materials and processing of geochemical data. |
