    This book presents 41 selected articles written by leading researchers from the Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry, part of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The articles are grouped by the following topics: (1) Geochemistry, (2) Meteoritics, Cosmochemistry, Lunar and Planetary Sciences, (3) Biogeochemistry and Ecology, and (4) Analytical Chemistry, Radiochemistry, and Radioecology. The articles present recent experimental data, theoretical investigations, critical reviews, the results of computer modeling in the above-mentioned fields. Intended to provide a scientific “snapshot” of the institute, the book also includes content on its history, main scientific achievements and current goals, together with detailed descriptions of its 25 laboratories and three museums so as to promote new international collaborations. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to all scientists and graduate students working in the areas of geochemistry, analytical chemistry and radiochemistry, earth and environmental sciences, biogeosciences, meteoritics and planetary science, and to those seeking new collaboration opportunities in these areas in Russia.

    Author Biography

    Vladimir P. Kolotov is a Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Professor, Doctor of Chemistry, former (deputy) director, and current Scientific Advisor (Analytical Chemistry Branch) of the Vernadsky Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Currently, he is also heading the Laboratory of Methods for Research and Analysis of Substances and Materials, and simultaneously acts as the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Analytical Chemistry. For the period 1995-2005 he worked at the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (chairman of the Commission on Radiochemistry, titular member of the division on Analytical Chemistry), International Committee on Activation Analysis, and was involved as an expert in different projects by the International Atomic Energy Agency, etc. Research interests: development of models and computer programs for processing activation analysis data (semiconductor gamma-ray spectrometry, autoradiographic images,database handling, etc.), development of theoretical and practical approaches to the development of a new class of environmentally friendly structural materials for nuclear power, characterized by accelerated decay of induced radioactivity, mass spectrometry for ultratrace analysis of various materials. V.P. Kolotov was awarded the G. Hevesy International Medal for his achievements in the field of radioanalytical chemistry and the Russian Academy of Sciences Khlopin Prize for his work in radiochemistry. Natalia S. Bezaeva is a leading scientist at the Vernadsky Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow, Russia). She graduated from the Faculty of Physics, Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2005 and received a Ph.D. in Physics and Mathematics from the same University in 2007. She completed a second Ph.D. in Environmental Geosciences from Aix-Marseille University (Aix-en-Provence, France) in 2008 and was awarded a D.Sc. title in Physics andMathematics from Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2016. Her primary research interests are in geosciences, meteoritics and planetary sciences with a particular emphasis on extraterrestrial and planetary magnetism, rock magnetism along with the effects of pressure, shock, and particle radiation on the magnetic properties of extraterrestrial materials and their synthetic analogs. She is a member of the editorial board of Impact Studies since 2017 and the editor-in-chief of Springer Proceedings of Earth and Environmental Sciences Book Series since 2019.
