Organization of the 35th IGC is progressing well, with over 4800 oral and poster presentations accepted from well over 5000 abstract submissions. There are 48 themes at this point, and some of the sessions and symposia will be of particular interest to Mineralogists and Analytical Geochemists under the core Congress topics:
Geoscience in Society
Spectral Geology in Exploration (minerals, hydrocarbon, geothermal) and Production
Geoscience in the Economy
Mineral deposit footprints
Quantitative geoscience data analysis for mineral exploration targeting
The Mineral system approach: the paradigm and future trends
Trace element analysis of minerals: applications in ore geology (Sponsored by IAGOD)
Trace Constituents in Coal: Occurrence, Emissions, and Environmental Impact
Applied Mineralogy and Geometallurgy (General Sessions)
Fundamental Geoscience
Redox reactions as controls on geochemical processes in the crust and mantle
Geochronology (African Geochronology and General Sessions)
Isotope Geoscience (General Sessions)
Fluid and melt inclusions in Minerals
Gems: bringing the World together
Applications of X-ray computed tomography in the Earth Sciences
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for the Geosciences
There is much more that will be of interest to mineralogists and geochemists. Visit the website here and click on the core topics, followed by the theme of interest.
From the theme page, a list of accepted abstracts and authors is available. The scheduled times and venues of oral presentations and posters will be posted during July.
