Summary:

This book highlights various aspects of geochemical and geological processes. In brief, it facilitates to understand the geochemical behavior of major, trace and rare earth elements in rocks to identify the magmatic processes involved in present-day magma generation and their relation to global tectonic regimes as well as geothermal studies. Therefore, the book provides a comprehensive view of the generation of magma types (mafic to felsic in composition) and their role in the petrogenesis. The book also covers the development of new geosoftware to effectively process the geochemical data before its interpretation.

Contents:

1. Mineralogy, geochemistry and geochronology of igneous and sedimentary rocks

2. Geochemistry and tectonic discrimination

3. Siliciclastic rocks and their provenance

4. Application of geochemistry in geothermics

5. Geosoftware in geochemical studies.
