Low Temperature Geochemistry

Low Temperature Geochemistry is the study of chemical processes occurring at or near the Earth's surface, typically at temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius. This field focuses on how minerals and elements interact in water, soil, and sediments, influencing natural environments, ecosystems, and the cycling of nutrients. It helps scientists understand weathering of rocks, soil formation, and the movement of pollutants, providing insights into environmental changes and resource management. By studying these chemical reactions, researchers can better grasp the Earth's systems and address challenges like soil degradation and water quality.
