This issue is dedicated to Prof. Hyo-Taek Chon at Seoul National University (SNU) in Korea for his valuable contributions in the field of environmental geochemistry for nearly 30 years. After his postdoc experience at the Applied Geochemistry Research Group (AGRG) at Imperial College in 1982/83, he became the first environmental geochemist in Korea and began to lecture, in the late 1980s, to senior students at SNU on environmental geochemistry. During his career as a professor of SNU from 1980 upto present, he has educated a total of 18 doctors and 46 masters in the field of applied geochemistry and resource geology, and has published 10 textbooks and more than 180 papers in reviewed international and domestic journals.
