Welcome to the Webpage of the Geochemistry Division (Abteilung Geochemie) of the Geowissenschaftliches Zentrum (GZG) at the Georg August University of Göttingen.
Here you will find information on people, research, teaching and excursions, as well as directions how to find us.
We also provide a short historical summary on research in geochemistry, starting from Viktor Moritz Goldschmidt early last century.
Our research areas include igneous geochemistry and evolution of magma systems mainly at convergent plate margins (Andes, Central America, Kamchatka, Italy). | |
A comprehensive geochemical data base on igneous rocks from the Central Andean Volcanic Zone (>1500 analyses) is provided here through a clickable map. You are also welcome to download the data base as excel sheet, kml-file. When using, please refer to our recent publications by Mamani et al (2008, 2009).
For more information an downloads (Teaching materials, field excursion report on the student excursion to the Andes and touristic information on Parinacota Volcano and the Lauca National Park see here: Andes excursion

 As we have learned today....,
the "Piip Award"
for the best publication in volcanology for a young scientist at the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology FEB RAS, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky (Russia) was awarded to Anna Volynets for her paper:
Volynets A, Churikova T, Wörner G, Gordeychik BN, Layer P (2010) Mafic Late Miocene–Quaternary volcanic rocks in the Kamchatka back arc region: implications for subduction geometry and slab history at the Pacific–Aleutian junction. Contrib Mineral Petrol 159: 659-687, DOI 10.1007/s00410-009-0447-9
Boris Piip was a famous Russian volcanologist, corresponding member of the Russian academy of science, and first Director of the Institute of Volcanology. |
