Who is Goldschmidt, Victor Moritz (1888–1942) Swiss Chemist, Geochemist, Mineralogist

Victor Goldschmidt studied chemistry,

mineralogy, and geology at the University of Christiania.

His work was greatly influenced by the Norwegian petrologist

and mineralogist W. C. Bogger and also by earth scientists

Paul von Groth and Friedrich Becke. He received his doctorate

in 1911 and became a full professor and director of the

mineralogical institute of the University of Christiania. His

doctoral thesis talked about the factors governing the mineral

associations in contact-metamorphic rocks and was based

upon the samples he had collected in southern Norway. In

later years he became a professor in the Faculty of Natural

Sciences at Gottingen and head of its mineral institute. He

began geochemical investigations on the noble and alkali metals,

the siderophilic and lithophilic elements. He produced a

model of the Earth and was able to show how these different

elements and metals were accumulated in various geological

domains on the basis of their charges, sizes, and the polarizabilities

of their ions. Goldschmidt is one of the pioneers in

geochemistry who gave explanations of the composition of

the environment.
