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

《地球化學透視》每一期都有一篇文章，通過我們社區一位備受尊敬的成員的視角，深入地探討地球化學領域的過去、現在和未來。文章結合了科學和該領域的發展歷史以及科學家對未來方向的看法。我們希望能從個人角度了解作者的科學生活、想法是如何產生的、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我們的研究領域的。透視圖文章面向整個地球化學社區，而不是專家。它們不是評論、專著或教科書。它們超越了目前的技術水平，提供了關于該領域未來方向和影響的意見。
