The state of the art, problems and prospects of regional geochemical works

The technology and the results of regional geochemical work (RGCW) are considered. It is shown that direct quantitative geochemical methods and system approach play an important role in enhancing the geological information content and prediction efficiency of the state geological maps of new generation. Current problems of RGCW are considered and ways of solving them are outlined.
Key words: regional geochemical work, multipurpose geochemical mapping, geochemical basis, predictive geochemical models, criteria for geochemical forecasting.
