Discussion Overview
The discussion explores the intersection of geology, chemistry, and mathematics, specifically looking for a branch of study that integrates these fields. The focus includes theoretical and applied aspects, particularly in relation to computational methods.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Technical explanation
Main Points Raised
- One participant suggests that geology combined with mathematical modeling leads to geophysics, while geology combined with chemistry results in geochemistry.
- Another participant proposes that the intersection of all three fields could be represented by "computational geochemistry," which involves using mathematical modeling to address geochemical problems.
- A request for examples of computational geochemistry is made, indicating interest in practical applications.
- A participant expresses a lack of expertise in geoscience but offers to find resources and provides links to relevant groups and job postings related to computational geoscience.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants appear to agree on the existence of intersections between the fields, particularly in computational geochemistry, but no consensus on specific examples or applications has been reached.
Contextual Notes
The discussion lacks specific examples of computational geochemistry and does not resolve the depth of integration between the three fields.
