The EuroGeoSurveys Geochemistry Expert Group, which has succeeded the FOREGS Geochemistry Group, is presently carrying out two large projects, the Geochemistry of European Agricultural and Grazing Land Soil (GEMAS) and Urban Geochemistry (URGE) that will keep the group busy for the next 3-year period, and has just completed a project on European groundwater geochemistry using bottled water. The results of this project have been published in an Atlas (Reimann C and Birke, Eds + 79 others, 2010. Geochemistry of European Bottled Water. Borntraeger Science Publishers. Stuttgart. ISBN 978-3-443-01067-6, 268 pp. URL: http://www.schweizerbart.de/publications/detail/isbn/9783443010676/Geochemistry-of-European-Bottled-Water), and country interpretations are in the processed of being published in a Special Issue of the Journal of Geochemical Exploration (Mineral waters of Europe, Birke M., Demetrides A. and De Vivo B., Eds). The latter volume will include 15 contributions from national teams of Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia (2), Greece (2), Slovakia, Hungary, Italy (2), Fennoscandia, Germany (2), Portugal and Estonia. At present the Group is setting up its own website that will introduce the projects and activities to the broader public. Other activities of the EuroGeoSurveys Geochemistry Expert Group for the period 2010-2013, include (a) publication of a book on urban geochemistry studies in early 2011 (Johnson et al., Mapping the Chemical Environment of Urban Areas – Wiley), (b) data elaboration and publication of GEMAS project results, and (c) publication of new results of the Geochemical Atlas of Europe project. It is noted, because of industry restrictions, the GEMAS Atlas will be published in 2013. The URGE project is carried out by a sub-group of the Geochemistry Expert Group led by Rolf Tore Ottesen of NGU. The aim of the URGE project is to carry out urban geochemical mapping of 10-12 European cities using a common sampling and analytical protocol, so that results are directly comparable across the continent. We expect that sampling can be carried out during 2011 and all analytical results are in available in 2012, which would result in “final reporting” around the end of 2012 or beginning of 2013.
