Acta Geochimica, as an international forum for significant research in geochemistry, plays a pivotal role in advancing the understanding of the mechanisms behind major geological systems such as the Earth's crust, oceans, and the entire solar system. Geochemistry is a scientific discipline that employs chemical tools and principles to interpret a range of processes, including mantle convection, planetary formation, and the origins of granites and basalts.

This field of study is crucial for unraveling the complex interactions between geological, biological, atmospheric, and hydrospheric processes that shape our planet. Geochemists analyze the composition of rocks, minerals, and fluids to trace the movement and transformation of elements within the Earth and other planetary bodies. By doing so, they contribute to a broader comprehension of the Earth's history, its current state, and the potential future trajectories of environmental and geological changes.
