Early registration deadline and 25 Anniversary Talks

Early registration deadline and 25 Anniversary Talks

We'd like to remind you that the Early Registration deadline is 16 June and members of EAG, GS, GSJ, MSGBI, DMG, AFEQ, SFIS, SGI, SIMP, HGS and ISEB are entitled to reduced registration rates (€490 and €295 for students).

In honour of the 25th anniversary of the Goldschmidt conference, a series of 25 special anniversary talks linked to each theme will highlight the greatest achievements over the past quarter century and a vision of where the specific geochemical field may be going in the future. Look out in each theme for session 'Theme number-s'.

Special Student Events

Special Student Events

Goldschmidt2015 will feature a number of events specifically set up for students and early career scientists; some include free lunch, please sign up early.

  • The Lunchtime Seminar Program will provide students with insight, advice and answers to the various questions they may face in their career.
  • The Meet the Plenary series of lunches will allow ~20 pre-selected younger scientists per day to share lunch with the plenary speakers to discuss careers, research, opinions and vision with some of the most eminent scientists at the conference.
  • Early Career conference attendees are encouraged to sign up for the Mentoring Program in which they will be matched one-on-one with a mentor. More info for mentees.
  • Experienced scientists are also encouraged to sign up as Mentors. Being a mentor provides a valuable opportunity to connect with enthusiastic young scientists and other like-minded mentors. More info for mentors.

EAG Publications

Latest Geochemical Perspectives: Hydrothermal Processes

Latest Geochemical Perspectives: Hydrothermal Processes

Hydrothermal Processes, the latest issue of Geochemical Perspectives features the story of Hydrothermal Geochemistry as described through the memories of Hu Barnes, one of the great geochemists whose work has shaped our understanding of ore deposit formation. Hu’s research path spans over 7 decades and addresses discoveries related to reactions controlling the formation of many ore metal deposits.

The printed copies are now on their way to subscribers.

 Effect of permafrost thawing...

Effect of permafrost thawing...

[By Melissa Murphy] Effect of permafrost thawing on trace element and carbon mobilisation - The Lena River (Siberia) is one of the largest global rivers draining into the Arctic Ocean. The Lena River and tributaries drain a range in lithology and topography, and the large watersheds are located in a region of continuous permafrost (ground that is permanently frozen year-round) ranging from 50 to 1500 m in thickness.

How rivers regulate global carbon cycle

How rivers regulate global carbon cycle

[Science Daily] Humans concerned about climate change are working to find ways of capturing excess carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and sequestering it in the Earth. But Nature has its own methods for the removal and long-term storage of carbon....Read more

Antarctica’s Larsen B Ice Shelf Nearing Its Final Act

Antarctica’s Larsen B Ice Shelf Nearing Its Final Act

[Nasa] A new NASA study finds the last remaining section of Antarctica's Larsen B Ice Shelf, which partially collapsed in 2002, is quickly weakening and likely to disintegrate completely before the end of the decade. Read more

Bacteria the newest tool in detecting environmental damage

Bacteria the newest tool in detecting environmental damage

[Science Daily] The reaction most people have when they hear the word bacteria is rarely a good one. While it's true that food- and water-borne bacteria cause untold illnesses and even death around the world, a team of researchers has found a way to use bacteria to help prevent some of the very symptoms most people associate with them.

Stunning New Images of Comet’s Surface and Activity

Stunning New Images of Comet’s Surface and Activity

[Scientific American] What happens when you make a low-level flyby of a cometary nucleus? You get jaw-dropping images. The 2-shot mosaic of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was taken by ESA’s Rosetta orbiter at an effective altitude of just 19.9 km. The resolution is a crisp 1.7 m per pixel and this frame spans a region of about 3 by 1.7 km. Read more

Role of ocean acidification in the extinction of marine molluscs

Role of ocean acidification in the extinction of marine molluscs

[Science Daily] New research, led by the University of Southampton, has questioned the role played by ocean acidification, produced by the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs, in the extinction of ammonites and other planktonic calcifiers 66 million years ago. Read more
