In the recent decades， there has been plenty of progress， both in analytical methods for Re-Os and PGE in geological samples and the applications of the Re-Os and PGE systems in geosciences. We first briefly review the recent advances for analytical methods of Re-Os and PGE in geological materials including sample dissolution， chemical separation and mass spectrometric determinations. Thereafter， we simply outline the recent progresses in major application fields of the Re-Os isotopic and PGE elemental systems in geosciences， including tracing the evolution of planetary formation and evolution， tracing the evolution of earth's mantle， dating of metal sulfide ore deposits， dating sedimentations and investigating the variations of earth's paleo-environment， as well as dating and tracing of the petroleum systems.This review stands as a comprehensive reference for researchers to facilitate the choice of the analytical method best adapted to each specific scientific problem and sample type， or to consider in the development of analytical methods for Re-Os-PGE in geological materials， as well as to promote the development of the applications of Re-Os and PGE in geosciences.
