Keywords

[biogeochemistry] A branch of geochemistry that deals with the effects of life processes on the distribution and fixation of chemical elements in the biosphere.

[biogeochemical prospecting] Geochemical exploration based on the chemical analysis of systematically sampled plants in a region, in order to detect biological concentrations of elements that might reflect hidden ore bodies.  The trace-element content of one or more plant organs is most often measured.

Geological keywords, such as “granite”, “lake”.  The definitions are generally taken from the AGI Glossary of Geology.  Keywords with a geographic context (e.g. Cape Smith Fold Belt, Selwyn Basin, Grenville Province) are assigned to a separate category.
