The early registration deadline is 1 June and all presenting authors must register for the conference by this date - don't wait until the last moment! Discounted rates are available for members of the EAG, Geochemical Society and other partner societies. Check your EAG membership, join or renew.
Designed for first-time conference attendees, students & early career scientists, mentees will be matched one-and-one with an experienced scientist to help them navigate the conference. Application to serve as a mentor/mentee can be completed with your conference registration. The mentor-mentee match will be based on the area of expertise & the participation type (in-person or remote).

EAG Sponsored Student Tom Huysmans makes a splash at the Ocean Sciences Meeting 2026
[by Tom Huysmans] The Ocean Sciences Meeting (OSM) is a major biennial international conference and is widely regarded as the flagship gathering for ocean sciences and the broader ocean‑connected community.
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...
Arc magmas have long been considered significantly more oxidised than their ocean island and mid-ocean ridge counterparts, a characteristic widely attributed to infusion of the mantle wedge by fluids from subducted...
A revised carbon isotope composition of the convecting upper mantle
The carbon isotope composition of the convecting upper mantle is key to constraining Earth’s carbon budget. Canonical estimates place upper mantle δ13C between −4 and −6 ‰, but recent measurements suggest...
Cerium isotopic constraints on oceanic redox conditions: Insights from first-principles calculations
Oceanic redox conditions are important for understanding life explosions, mass extinctions and surface environments. Stable cerium (Ce) isotopes may provide a useful proxy for oceanic redox conditions by...
See NASA’s Artemis II mission around the moon in 12 stunning photos
[Scientific American] The Artemis II mission’s 10-day odyssey around the moon and back was captured in stunning photographs at every moment. Here are 12 of our favorite images. The Artemis II moon mission might have come to an...
New study measures titanium in Apollo rock to uncover Moon’s early chemistry
[The conversation] The Earth and the Moon may look very different today, but they formed under similar conditions in space. In fact, a dominant hypothesis says that the early Earth was hit by a Mars-sized object, and it was this giant impact...
High nickel concentrations in Martian bedrock point to potential biosignatures
[Phys.org] In 2024, NASA's Perseverance rover found surprising levels of Nickel in the Martian bedrock of an ancient river channel, called Neretva Vallis, which flowed into the Jezero crater. A new study, published in Nature Communications...
One of Earth's most EXPLOSIVE volcanoes is quietly refilling with magma - sparking fears an eruption could be imminent
[The Daily Mail] The reservoir of one of Earth's most explosive volcanoes is quietly refilling with magma, scientists have revealed. The underwater Kikai volcano, off the coast of Japan, last erupted 7,300 years ago in what was the largest explosion...
Why pristine mountain lakes are suddenly turning green
[Scientific American] High in the Rockies, researchers are discovering that wind-borne pollution and rising heat are fueling unprecedented algal blooms. One sunny July morning, on a lake in Colorado’s San Juan Mountains, two scientists...
A New Twist on Robotic Float Data Reveals Critical Ocean Chemistry
[Eos] A novel application of a statistical method to existing data from the global network of BGC-Argo floats unveiled chemical measurements critical to tracking nitrogen cycling in oxygen minimum zones.Far below the ocean’s sunlit surface, there...
Nominations for the MinSoc, Eileen Guppy Technician’s Award: deadline 18 April
This is a new award of the Mineralogical Society of the UK & Ireland named in honour of Dr Eileen Mary Guppy (1903–1980), a geologist, petrologist & analytical chemist.
The advanced practical and technical knowledge of technicians and experimental officers is an asset to every university and research institute. To celebrate and create recognition of their contributions we are delighted to introduce the first award that specifically focusses on the contributions of technicians.
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.
The 7th EAGE Global Energy Transition Conference (GET 2026) is a leading global event showcasing the role of geoscience and engineering in addressing the challenges and opportunities of the energy transition.
