The Mentor program is designed for first-time conference attendees, students and early career scientists. Mentees will be matched one-on-one with an experienced scientist to help them navigate the conference. Apply to be a mentor or mentee as part of your conference registration. Mentor-mentee matches will be based on the area of expertise and the participation type (in-person or remote).
The EAG Early Career Science Ambassadors program next deadline: 1 June
This EAG Early Career Science Ambassadors program supports young scientists based in Europe who wish to attend conferences outside Europe with 50% of expenses covered, up to 1500 Euros.
Co-sponsored by the EAG the Groundwater Arsenic Research Days (GARD2026) will take place 22 -26 November at Monte Verità in Ascona, Switzerland.
Geogenic arsenic contamination of groundwater remains a severe health threat to millions worldwide. We invite experts and early-career researchers to join us in advancing innovative prediction and mitigation strategies.
Scholarships will be available for early-career scientists based in low- and middle-income countries. Application deadline: 1 July
Abstract submission & registration will open soon!
The EAG H.C. Urey Award is bestowed for outstanding contributions advancing geochemistry over a career. Starting in 2025 the EAG Council has decided to establish a new nomination process, including, self-nominations.
EAGE-EAG Technical Community on Geochemistry webinar 26 May
The EAGE-EAG Technical Community on Geochemistry is a joint initiative between the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE) and the EAG, designed to foster collaboration, knowledge sharing, and networking among professionals interested in geochemical applications.
Their next webinar “Applications of Machine Learning in Soil Carbon Management” will be held on 26 May at 16:00 CEST by Sina Rezaei Gomari (Teesside University).
Latest Elements issue 'Mineral Physics Applied to Earth and Planetary Sciences'
Understanding the physical and transport properties of minerals is essential for deciphering geophysical and planetary processes. Building on Haüy’s early recognition of the link between crystal structure and macroscopic behavior, modern spectroscopic, thermal, mechanical, electrical, and magnetic techniques now probe these properties across all scales—from atoms to planets. This issue of Elements explores how minerals respond to external fields. Those interactions reveal clues about the past history of the minerals and influence of dynamic processes that continue to shape the Earth and other planetary bodies at present.
All EAG members have online access to current and past issues of Elements. Members who have selected to receive print copies of Elements, will soon receive the latest issue by post.

EAG Early Career Science Ambassador Pim Kaskes attends GSA Connects 2025 in San Antonio
[by Pim Kaskes] From tsunami sediments dating back to the end of the dinosaurs to the iconic riverwalk in San Antonio: from 17 – 23 October 2025 I visited Texas to attend the Geological Society of America (GSA) Annual Meeting 2025. A massive thanks to...
Temperature dependence of magmatic iron redox speciation to 2100 °C
The iron redox speciation of silicate melts, quantified by Fe3+/Fe2+ ratios, is of significance to redox evolution during magmatism and is temperature dependent, but exploration of temperature effects has been...
Modern mantle-like μ182W signatures in Paleoarchean rocks from southern India
The isotope records of short lived 182Hf-182W and 146Sm-142Nd decay systems preserved in Archean crustal rocks that formed from different mantle domains, provide temporal constraints on chemical differentiation...
Water driven iodine degassing from basaltic volcanic systems
Iodine is a trace constituent of magmas and its volcanic release and their atmospheric implications remain poorly quantified. To better understand and quantify the iodine contribution of volcanic degassing to the...
Supra-subduction zone ophiolites retain hydrogen generation potential after 300 Myr
The Ural Mountains host well documented natural hydrogen (H2) emissions, yet the Palaeozoic ultramafic complexes are 250–400 Ma old and could have exhausted serpentinisation potential through...
Light calcium isotope anomaly in the Pitcairn mantle plume: a signal of pyroxenite melting
The light calcium (Ca) isotope anomaly observed in ocean island basalts (OIBs) compared to mid-ocean ridge lavas has typically been attributed to recycling of carbonate-bearing sediments, partial melting...
The journey of K-MORBs, told through geological, geochemical and geophysical data
The compositional variability of mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs) stems from a combination of the heterogeneity of the mantle source, magma mixing, and partial crystallisation of magma in the lower crust...
After 200 years scientists finally crack the “dolomite problem”
[Science Daily] After two centuries of failed attempts, scientists have finally grown dolomite in the lab, cracking a long-standing geological puzzle. They discovered that the mineral’s growth stalls because of tiny defects—but in nature, those...
Ancient Process That Created Rare Earth Elements Discovered — and It Could Help Us Locate Desperately Needed Deposits
[Live Science] Researchers may have found a new way to locate deposits of rare earth elements that are vital to the tech and energy industries. Rare earth elements crystallize in Earth's mantle inside blobs of magma that are rich in alkali metals...
Three billion years ago, Earth's life relied on a rare metal
[Phys.org] A collaborative team of scientists has discovered that life on Earth over three billion years ago relied on the metal molybdenum, which was incredibly scarce in the environment at the time. The study, published in Nature Communications is...
How the Grand Canyon formed is a surprisingly messy story. Here's the latest clue
[Scientific American] The Grand Canyon draws more scientific attention than just about any stretch of river-carved rock in the world, yet it remains steeped in mystery. After decades of debate, geologists still don’t agree on the most basic facts...
Even the Most Remote Ocean Is Contaminated with Zinc from Human Sources, Research Reveals
[Phys.org] The vast, deserted South Pacific is considered unspoiled nature. But this ocean is not as unspoiled as we would like to think. A new study by a group of researchers from ETH Zurich and the GEOMAR Helmholtz Center for Ocean...
EAGE Online Short Course: Natural Hydrogen, 19-20 May
At the upcoming EAGE Online Short Course “Exploitation and Commercialization Potential of Natural Hydrogen” participants will gain a deeper understanding of the commercial exploitation potential of natural-hydrogen prospects in different settings (geological, geographical, industrial-supply opportunities) and explore synergies with other resource exploitation (e.g., helium, geothermal).
Sign up and join Dr. Arnout Everts on 19-20 May (8:00-12:00 CEST) - EAG members benefit from discounted rates.
