The EAG Student Sponsorship Program supports onsite participation at events or short research stays held in Europe, or online participation at events held anywhere in the world. Successful applicants will receive sponsorship of up to 1000 euros to cover registration, abstract fees, and travel expenses where applicable. Applicants may be based in any country.
Early Career Science Ambassador Program next deadline: 1 March
This program provides funding to Early Career Scientists based in Europe who wish to attend conferences outside Europe, and to Early Career Scientists in any country who plan to attend a fully virtual or hybrid conference remotely. Supported scientists attending a conference in person will have 50% of their expenses covered by EAG, up to 1500 Euros.
Reports by early career scientists supported by the EAG Student Sponsorship and Early Career Science Ambassador programs, describing their experiences at geochemistry events around the world.
Dominant monosulfide solid solution fractionation causes Cu deficit in continental crust
It remains unclear how Earth’s continental crust became deficient in Cu. Lower crustal cumulates from the Gangdese continental arc present key evidence. These cumulates are Cu-rich and exhibit significant δ65Cu...
Earth’s foundational geological events stored in the fundamental mantle source of hotspots
The geochemical signatures of nearly all Earth’s volcanic hotspots converge on a common isotopic composition, which is often termed the ‘focal zone’ (FOZO) and has been associated with a shared deep mantle...
Silver isotope fractionation by chemical diffusion in granitic melt
We report the first study of silver (Ag) isotope fractionation during diffusion in anhydrous granitic melts using diffusion couple experiments. The mass dependence of the diffusion coefficients of the Ag isotopes can...
Continental crust had fully emerged by the end of the Paleoproterozoic
We here report the first triple oxygen isotope analyses on a collection of natural and synthetic fulgurites generated in natural lightning and high current experiments, and fulgurites generated by electrical power line...
[BBC] The treasures beneath Greenland's icy terrain have been coveted for more than a century. But as Donald Trump becomes the latest to eye this wealth, accessing them still remains a challenge...
Scientists map key oceanic unknowns in climate interventions
[Phys.org] As Earth warms due to climate change, oceans are heating up, becoming more acidic, and losing oxygen. These changes threaten marine life, food webs, and global fisheries. Scientists agree that cutting greenhouse gas emissions...
The fate of the planet’s coastlines depends on how fast Antarctica’s ice sheets melt. We don’t know what’s coming
[The Guardian] Some regions of the continent have enough ice to push up sea levels by 15 metres if they all melt, but researchers don’t yet fully understand the consequences...
'Cosmic clock' reveals Australian landscapes' history and potential future
[Phys.org] Curtin University researchers have demonstrated a new way to uncover the ancient history of Australia's landscapes, which could offer crucial insights into how our environment responds to geological processes and climate...
Toxic gas found to have wiped out almost half of all ocean life 530 million years ago
[Earth.com] About 530 million years ago, during the early rise of complex animal life, a massive marine die-off erased roughly 45% of ocean species. Sediment cores from the Yangtze Platform in South China point to hydrogen sulfide, a toxic gas...
What's Under Jupiter's Enormous Storms? Possibly A Lot More Oxygen Than Expected
[IFLScience] Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System, a gas giant that could fit over 1,000 Earths inside. It is a phenomenally complex world, and there is so much we do not know about this planet. That includes what goes on deep...
The Mineralogical Society’s 150th Anniversary Meeting: abstract deadline 6 March
In 2026 the Mineralogical Society of the UK and Ireland will celebrate its 150th anniversary, with a special conference at the University of Manchester. The meeting will involve all of the Society’s eight special interest groups and the Mineral Deposits Studies Group. Scientists from all countries are welcome, this will be a fully hybrid conference. Remote attendance by those from low- & middle-income countries will be free of charge. Abstract submission:6 March Registration (early): 20 March - EAG members will benefit from member rates
87th EAGE Annual Conference & Exhibition: early registration 15 March
What role does geochemistry play in advancing low-carbon mineral development and sustainable mining? Contribute to this conversation by joining the EAGE-EAG Technical Community on Geochemistry at the dedicated session 'Geochemistry and low carbon minerals', at the EAGE Annual 2026 (8-11 June, Aberdeen, UK). Early registration: 15 March - EAG members will benefit from member rates
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. Nomination/application deadline: 18 April
