The Association of Applied Geochemists (AAG) is an international society that seeks to advance the study and application of geochemistry and represents scientists working in that field.
[3] The Association organizes a series of biennial International Applied Geochemistry Symposia (titled the International Geochemical Exploration Symposium until 2005), held recently in Oviedo, Spain,[4] and Perth, Australia.
[5] Shortly after its inauguration the society began publishing the Journal of Exploration Geochemistry in 1972.
[7] The journal covers fields relating to the application of geochemistry to the exploration and study of mineral resources.
The Society awards the AAG Gold Medal to recognize a lifetime's achievement in or outstanding contribution to applied geochemistry.
