Abstract:

The paper summarized systematically main geochemical advances related to genesis of life, surveillance on volcanic and seismic active areas, interaction between the crust and upper mantle at island arcs, mining and human production activities, interaction between water and rocks, surface processes of the earth, paleoclimatology and paleoenvironment as well as stable isotopic geochemistry, geochemical thermodynamics, organic geochemistry, analytical techniques of geochemistry on the basis of abstracts submitted to the 32nd International Geological Congress, Florence, Italy. The authors expect that geochemistry will act key roles on monitoring and predication of geological disasters, reclamation of polluted lands, synthetical programming of land use, origin and evolution of life and exploration of energetic and resource reservoirs for sustainable development. Geochemical data will be able to be gotten by accurate, sentitive instruments rapidly and economically through technological progress. Numeric and experimental simulations of geochemistry will make our recognition to geological process toward their realities under constraints of geochemical parameters.

Key words: the 32nd IGC, geochemistry, advance, orientation
