The Association of Applied Geochemists (AAG) is an international society that seeks to advance the study and application of geochemistry and represents scientists working in that field.
History
[edit | edit source]The society was founded in 1970 as the Association of Exploration Geochemists.[1]
Membership
[edit | edit source]Members of the society are required to have worked in geochemistry for at least two years at the time of application; student members are admitted if they are enrolled in courses recognised by the Association. To become a voting member, or fellow, members must satisfy the society that they have adequate training and experience in the field.[2] Membership in the society has been used to measure total numbers of working geochemists.[3]
Activities
[edit | edit source]Symposia
[edit | edit source]The Association organizes a series of biennial International Applied Geochemistry Symposia (titled the International Geochemical Exploration Symposium until 2005), held recently in Oviedo, Spain,[4] and Perth, Australia.[5]
Publications
[edit | edit source]Shortly after its inauguration the society began publishing the Journal of Exploration Geochemistry in 1972.[6] Today the society's flagship journal is Geochemistry: Exploration, Environment, Analysis, co-published with the Geological Society of London.[7] The journal covers fields relating to the application of geochemistry to the exploration and study of mineral resources. It aims to promote interchange between exploration and environmental geochemistry.[8] The journal is a hybrid open-access journal, publishing both subscription and open access articles. It also publishes Explore, a newsletter, and co-publishes Elements,[9] a membership magazine.
Awards
[edit | edit source]The Society awards the AAG Gold Medal to recognize a lifetime's achievement in or outstanding contribution to applied geochemistry.[10] It also offers an annual student paper prize to reward student contributors of outstanding papers on geochemistry.[11]
