The scientists whose primary documented field is the chemistry of earth materials and processes, apart from the absolute-dating applications of that chemistry held under Geochronologist: Victor Moritz Goldschmidt (founder of modern geochemistry) and Wallace Broecker (ocean and carbon-cycle geochemistry, often named the father of geochemistry in his own right). Belongs here: a scientist whose primary contribution is the chemical composition or chemical cycling of rocks, minerals, oceans or the deep earth. Does not belong here: a scientist whose chemistry work is specifically an absolute-dating method, held under Geochronologist instead.
