He is one of the pioneers of cosmochemistry. Houtermans made important contributions to geochemistry and cosmochemistry. This research is considered to be the foundation of modern cosmochemistry. It is closely connected to cosmochemistry, mineralogy and geochemistry. Specializations include cosmochemistry, biochemistry and organic geochemistry. The technique is used extensively in isotope geochemistry, geochronology, and in cosmochemistry. She developed courses in cosmochemistry for students from all departments. He founded the Department of Cosmochemistry there and initiated research on meteorites. Professor Turner has been a leading figure in cosmochemistry since the 1960s. Cosmochemistry is also part of the published research in this journal. During the 1950s and 1960s, cosmochemistry became more accepted as a science. Clayton studied cosmochemistry and held a joint appointment in the university's geophysical sciences department.
