Planetary Surface Geochemistry

Planetary Surface Geochemistry is the scientific discipline that characterizes the chemical composition, distribution, and reactions of elements and compounds on the outer solid or liquid layers of planets and planetary bodies, distinguishing it from broader planetary geochemistry by focusing specifically on surface-level processes and materials influenced by external environmental factors such as radiation, temperature fluctuations, and potential fluid interactions.
