Each issue of Geochemical Perspectives presents a single article with an in-depth view on the past, present and future of a field of geochemistry, seen through the eyes of a highly respected member of our community. The articles combine science and history of the field’s development and the scientist’s opinions about future directions. We expect personal glimpses into the author’s scientific life, how ideas were generated, pitfalls and triumphs along the way, and how ideas were adopted to carry our field further. Perspectives articles are intended for the entire geochemical community, not for experts. They are not reviews or monographs or text books. They go beyond the current state of the art, providing opinions about future directions and impact in the field

《地球化學(xué)透視》每一期都有一篇文章，通過我們社區(qū)一位備受尊敬的成員的視角，深入地探討地球化學(xué)領(lǐng)域的過去、現(xiàn)在和未來。文章結(jié)合了科學(xué)和該領(lǐng)域的發(fā)展歷史以及科學(xué)家對(duì)未來方向的看法。我們希望能從個(gè)人角度了解作者的科學(xué)生活、想法是如何產(chǎn)生的、過程中遇到的陷阱和取得的成功，以及想法是如何被采納以推進(jìn)我們的研究領(lǐng)域的。透視圖文章面向整個(gè)地球化學(xué)社區(qū)，而不是專家。它們不是評(píng)論、專著或教科書。它們超越了目前的技術(shù)水平，提供了關(guān)于該領(lǐng)域未來方向和影響的意見。
