Geological events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and dust storms can mobilize hazardous geogenic materials, enhancing atmospheric dispersion and inhalation exposure. Although the relevance of disaster\u2010driven geogenic hazards is increasingly recognized, quantitative evidence of the thematic transition from mineral\u2010pathology to integrated exposure science remains limited. This study presents a bibliometric science\u2010mapping analysis of disaster\u2010related MG research using 64 publications indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection (1980\u20132025). Using keyword co\u2010occurrence networks, temporal trend analysis, and conceptual structure mapping, the field's intellectual organization, thematic development, and global collaboration patterns were examined. The results indicate that the literature is structured around three major thematic domains: (a) naturally occurring fibrous minerals and associated disease outcomes; (b) disaster\u2010triggered exposure pathways; and (c) environmental particulates and population\u2010level health impacts. While mineral\u2010specific diseases such as mesothelioma remain central, publications from 2022 to 2025 show a clear shift toward exposure\u2010oriented frameworks, with \u201cexposure\u201d emerging as the most frequent Keywords Plus term (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0=\u00a06). This transition is particularly evident in temporal overlay visualizations and multiple correspondence analysis conceptual maps. Overall, disaster\u2010related MG research has evolved from a predominantly disease\u2010centered perspective toward an integrated exposure science positioned at the interface of geosciences, atmospheric processes, and public health. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating geogenic exposure metrics into disaster risk reduction and environmental health governance.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1029\/2026gh001865","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,22]],"date-time":"2026-07-22T11:52:59Z","timestamp":1784721179000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Disaster\u2013Related Medical Geology Research: A Bibliometric Mapping of Geogenic Exposure Pathways and Earth\u2013Health Integration (1980\u20132025)"],"prefix":"10.1029","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9148-2014","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Serdar","family":"Baler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mining and Mining Extraction Hekimhan Mehmet Emin Sungur Vocational School Malatya Turgut \u00d6zal University  Malatya T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"13","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s13753\u2010015\u20100050\u20109"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joi.2017.08.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"Baler S.(2026).Disaster\u2010related medical geology bibliometric dataset and analytical files (1980\u20132025)[Dataset].Zenodo.https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5281\/zenodo.18942744","DOI":"10.5281\/zenodo.18942744"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1470\u20102045(13)70257\u20102"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajh\/hpx109"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0b013e3181dbece1"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21572"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jcp.22724"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/geosciences6010008"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jbusres.2021.04.070"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.lungcan.2004.04.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2113\/gselements.3.6.407"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.56.8.505"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bjc.6602307"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00445\u2010006\u20100052\u2010y"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.toxlet.2016.07.028"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_18_1","unstructured":"R Core Team.
