This is what gives us the fields of astrobiology, astroparticle physics, and cosmochemistry. It's a "stitching together" of fields that previously were distinct and never spoke to one another.
In geothermal water research also, the need of quality control and analytical consistency among geochemical laboratories was recognised long ago, when Ellis (1976) conducted the first inter-laboratory comparison of the quality of geochemical analysis in waters, organized by the International Association of Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry (IAGC).
