Geochemical Journal invites submissions to a special issue, “Advances in Environmental Geochemistry.” We welcome contributions from researchers worldwide on all aspects of environmental geochemistry. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• The behavior and fate of toxic elements, radionuclides, and other contaminants in the environment;
• Geochemical approaches to climate change and related environmental processes;
• Applications of isotope geochemistry to environmental research;
• Speciation studies on elements and organic matter to understand chemical processes;
• Other geochemical studies in Earthʼs surface environments, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and soils.

We invite original research articles, notes, and reviews. All submissions will undergo the journalʼs usual peer review process. Accepted papers may be published online individually before the complete special issue is assembled.

Guest Editors: Yoshio Takahashi (The University of Tokyo), Haibo Qin (Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences), Seonyi Namgung (Korean Atomic Energy Research Institute), Yi-Wei Liu (Academia Sinica), and Shohei Hattori (Nanjing University)

When submitting your manuscript, please indicate in your cover letter that it is intended for the special issue entitled "Advances in Environmental Geochemistry."
