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.

==History==
The society was founded in 1970 as the Association of Exploration Geochemists.<ref>{{cite web |title=Alma Resources Welcomes Art Soregaroli to the Advisory Board |url=http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Alma-Resources-Ltd-TSX-VENTURE-ALV-627050.html |publisher=Alma Resources Ltd. |date=December 13, 2006 |access-date=6 February 2009 }}</ref>

==Membership==
Members of the society are required to have worked in geochemistry for at least two years at the time of application; student members are admitted if they are enrolled in courses recognised by the Association. To become a voting member, or fellow, members must satisfy the society that they have adequate training and experience in the field.<ref>{{cite web |title=Membership |publisher=Association of Applied Geochemistry |url=http://www.appliedgeochemists.org/membership.html |access-date=6 February 2009 }}</ref> Membership in the society has been used to measure total numbers of working geochemists.<ref>{{cite book |editor1-first=Iain |editor1-last=Thornton |last=Govett |first=G.J.S. |title=Applied Geochemistry in the 1980s |chapter=Geochemistry: its achievements and potential in mineral exploration |page=23 |publisher=Springer |year=1986 |isbn=0-86010-796-5 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=05LGjwCXc3cC }}</ref>

==Activities==

===Symposia===
The Association organizes a series of biennial International Applied Geochemistry Symposia (titled the International Geochemical Exploration Symposium until 2005), held recently in [[Oviedo]], [[Spain]],<ref>{{cite web |title=The 23rd IAGS Symposium |publisher=[[University of Oviedo]] |url=http://www.uniovi.es/IAGS2007/ |access-date=6 February 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090204091402/http://www.uniovi.es/IAGS2007/ |archive-date=4 February 2009 |url-status=dead }}</ref> and [[Perth, Western Australia|Perth]], [[Australia]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uniovi.es/IAGS2007/|title=IGES 2005|publisher=Promaco|access-date=6 February 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090204091402/http://www.uniovi.es/IAGS2007/|archive-date=4 February 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Publications===
Shortly after its inauguration the society began publishing the ''Journal of Exploration Geochemistry'' in 1972.<ref>{{cite book |last=Siegel |first=Frederic R. |title=Applied Geochemistry |year=1975 |publisher=Wiley |page=3 |isbn=0-471-79095-8 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sKXPAAAAIAAJ }}</ref> Today the society's flagship journal is ''Geochemistry: Exploration, Environment, Analysis'', co-published with the [[Geological Society of London]].<ref>{{cite book |title=Introduction to Mineral Exploration |last=Moon |first=Charles J. |year=2006 |publisher=[[Wiley-Blackwell|Blackwell]] |isbn=1-4051-1317-0 |page=178 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PWX2GGdc-a0C }}</ref> The journal covers fields relating to the application of geochemistry to the exploration and study of mineral resources. It aims to promote interchange between exploration and environmental geochemistry.<ref>{{cite web |title=Geochemistry: Environment, Analysis, Exploration. |publisher=[[The Geological Society]] |url=http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/geea |access-date=6 February 2009 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090227000747/http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/geea| archive-date= 27 February 2009 | url-status= live}}</ref> The journal is a hybrid open-access journal, publishing both subscription and open access articles. It also publishes ''Explore'', a newsletter, and co-publishes ''Elements'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.elementsmagazine.org/aboutelements.htm|title=About ''Elements'' Magazine|publisher=Elements Magazine|access-date=6 February 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090116174740/http://www.elementsmagazine.org/aboutelements.htm|archive-date=16 January 2009 |url-status=live}}</ref> a membership magazine.

===Awards===
The Society awards the [[AAG Gold Medal]] to recognize a lifetime's achievement in or outstanding contribution to applied geochemistry.<ref>{{cite web |title=AAG Gold medal |url=http://www.appliedgeochemists.org/awards/aw_gold_medal.html |publisher =Association of Applied Geochemists }}</ref> It also offers an annual student paper prize to reward student contributors of outstanding papers on geochemistry.<ref>{{cite web |title=Student Paper Prize |url=http://www.appliedgeochemists.org/students/student_paper.html |publisher=Association of Applied Geochmists }}</ref>
