Which emerging topics will dominate the field, and which traditional areas might see a decline in research interest?
Over the next two decades, environmental geochemistry will become more interdisciplinary and solution-oriented, focusing on critical zone science, microplastics, climate change mitigation, and environmental forensics, while traditional areas like basic geochemical surveys may see relatively less interest. Advanced analytical techniques, big data, and a global perspective will drive this evolution.
The modification of some clay material to improve their activity for pollutant adsorption may be the most applicable work in this task.
The future of environmental geochemistry will be data-driven, interdisciplinary, and sustainability-focused, leveraging AI, advanced geochemical tools, and eco-friendly remediation technologies to address complex environmental challenges
