Scientists long couldn't trace all of Earth's carbon. Prof. Derry found the answer: rivers tricked us, methane secretly shifted carbon, and our planet now stores extra carbon as humans test Earth's balance.
As Goldschmidt shows each year, geochemistry is a small, but mighty field.
Dr. Wilson Y. Fantong, Director of Research at Institute of Geological and Mining Research in Cameroon, delivered the plenary lecture on Wednesday 9 July
"The Southern Ocean doesn’t just absorb carbon, it decides when to spit it back at us" as Prof. Sikes said in her Goldschmidt 2025 plenary talk. “When Antarctica exhales, the planet warms. And right now, it’s hyperventilating."
The organisers of the Goldschmidt conference publish a set of reputable journals.
Volcanoes excite geochemists because they provide a direct access to the deep Earth.
Under-representation remain a chronic problem in science, and geochemistry is no exception.
Most people go to Goldschmidt to present their research, meet with colleagues, and hear about cutting-edge science
MIT's Tanja Bosak presented NASA Perseverance rover's discovery of unexpected iron-magnesium carbonates in Mars' Jezero Crater, revealing 3.8-billion-year-old water activity but no biosignatures of ancient life.

As Goldschmidt shows each year, geochemistry is a small, but mighty field. Yet like many sub-fields in the Earth Sciences, geochemistry remains a male-dominated field.
