Thematic collections are curated sets of papers that present a timely snapshot of research in a topic of high current interest and importance. Edited by experts in the field, invited contributions undergo peer review to the normal Geochemistry: Exploration, Environment, Analysis standards and are made available online upon acceptance. The papers are collated on a dedicated collection webpage on an ongoing basis which ensures that this significant research is visible to the community at the earliest opportunity.
If you are interested in proposing a thematic collection in Geochemistry: Exploration, Environment, Analysis then please contact geea@geolsoc.org.uk. Please provide a brief proposal for the Editorial Board to consider that outlines the aims and scope of the thematic collection, the guest editors and the envisaged contributions.
Read the current thematic collections:
Hydrochemistry related to exploration and environmental issues: This collection seeks papers that involve the use of hydrochemistry in mineral deposit exploration, understanding environmental issues related to mining and mineral processing, remediation of sites contaminated by mining and mineral processing, water quality connected to water resources and agriculture and the development of analytical techniques in hydrochemistry for mineral deposit and environmental applications.
A new unconformity-related uranium district: the Patterson Lake Corridor, Athabasca Basin Canada: This thematic collection presents results of the first integrated study of this new district, from deposit-scale isotopic studies to regional-scale metallogenic and geophysical studies.

Exploration 17: This thematic collection comprises a selection of research originally presented at the Exploration 17 Conference, Toronto, October 21–25, 2017.
Progress in remediation of polluted soils: This thematic collection focuses on (1) sequential extraction/speciation, (2) phytoremediation, (3) oxygen content in iron sulphides, (4) stabilization of Zn compounds in a long incubation experiment, and (5) bioavailibility of potential toxic elements.
Mineral deposits exploration and environmental geochemistry: case studies in Italy and in China: This thematic collection focuses on exploration of critical materials and exploration geochemistry in China and Italy.
Analysis of exploration geochemical data for mapping of anomalies: This thematic collection contains eight papers on the development of methods and techniques for exploration geochemical data analysis.
