Geochemistry in America

The development of geochemistry in America illustrates these points. Its history bears some similarity to the histories of other hybrid specialties that emerged around the turn of the century, but in several important ways it constitutes an exception to the normal pattern of development. It did not take shape in the university. Rather it found its first expression in the United States in the laboratories of the U.S. Geological Survey and the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Only very gradually did it find a place in the university curriculum. Nor did it grow in response to...

A direct link with medical applications is demonstrated by a Memoir of the Geological Society of America on Environmental Geochemistry in Health and Disease (Cannon and Hopps, 1971) many routine techniques used in geochemical prospecting can with slight modifications be extended to the study of geomedical problems.
