Top Geochemistry Schools Admission and Tuition Comparison

California Institute of Technology is ranked first in Geochemistry and Pennsylvania State University-Main Campus is placed in second.

Geochemistry is the science that uses the tools and principles of chemistry to explain the mechanisms behind major geological systems such as the Earth's crust and its oceans. The realm of geochemistry extends beyond the Earth, encompassing the entire Solar System and has made important contributions to the understanding of a number of processes including mantle convection, the formation of planets and the origins of granite and basalt.[read more at wiki]
