Branch of study: geology + chemistry + mathematics

[Segala]

Dear fellows,
I was wondering about what lies inbetween the fields of geology, chemistry and mathematics. I mean, is there a branch of study that uses the three areas?

Thanks in advance.

Well,

Geology + mathematical modelling often sees you doing geophysics, while geology + chemistry = geochemistry.

I think the intersection of the three would be where you use mathematical modelling to work on geochemical problems. So, "computational geochemistry" would be close to using all three.

Thanks for your answer! Could you enlighten me with a couple of examples in computational geochemistry?

I'm not a geoscientist by any definition, so I can't give you key examples. However, I can google.

Here's Standford's computational geoscience group, it's interesting to poke around. http://cees.stanford.edu/index.php
Here's an example of a job https://jobs.leeds.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=ENVEE1052
