This award will be presented at the Goldschmidt2015 conference.

The members of CRPG Nancy are sad to announce the death of their friend and colleague Pete Burnard, in a hang-gliding accident on Sunday July 12, 2015. Those who would like to leave a message in tribute to Pete can do so on this page. Our thoughts are with his wife Elspeth and his children Elinor and Callum, and with his family and all of his friends at this tragic moment.
This issue demonstrates the application of geochemistry to a variety of societally and economically important areas, including: mineral exploration; environmental mineralogy; environmental problems in cities, using London (England) as a case study; food industry authenticity; law enforcement; and medical advancements. A significant driver for the research described in all of these articles is analytical achievement and translating this to a societal application.

As the EAG wishes to support students training in geochemistry, each year EAG sponsors 10 students up to 500 Euros per student to attend geochemistry related short courses, summer schools, workshops or conferences located in Europe (except for the Goldschmidt conference). Read more
