The Association
Founded in 1970, the Association of Applied Geochemists is an international organisation specialising in the field of applied geochemistry whose purpose is to:
- Advance the science of geochemistry as it relates to exploration and the environment
- Facilitate the acquisition and distribution of scientific knowledge
- Promote exchange of scientific information
- Encourage research and development
- Sponsor symposia, seminars and technical meetings
- Support students in applied geochemistry
To achieve these goals, the Association of Applied Geochemists:
- published the Journal of Geochemical Exploration from 1972 until 2000, and currently publishes GEOCHEMISTRY: Exploration, Environment, Analysis (GEAA) starting in 2001
- publishes quarterly a newsletter, EXPLORE
- publishes in a digital format a bibliography of geochemically oriented papers, now available to AAG Members on the ASSOCIATION OF APPLIED GEOCHEMISTS web page
- holds biennial International Geochemical Exploration Symposia with associated field trips
- holds regional meetings of specialised interest and co-sponsors meetings with other scientific societies
- organises workshops and short courses
- supports a student paper prize
- supports a distinguished lecture series
- and produces, with Elsevier, the Handbook of Exploration Geochemistry, a series of volumes offered to members at substantially discounted rates.
