Hydrogeochemical Searches of Minerals Fields

Description: The discipline contains the basic laws of migration of chemical elements in groundwater, the laws of formation of the component composition of late-earth waters, the chemical composition of groundwater in the impact areas of mineral deposits. Hydrogeochemistry studies groundwater as a factor of formation, destruction and search feature of deposits of various minerals
