Goldschmidt2021: Abstract submission open until 26 February
Select your session and submit your abstract for Goldschmidt2021 by 26 February. Full details of the conference format as well as registration fees are available on the conference website. Derek Vance, EAG President, provides explanations about the conference format in this video.
EAG Forum: network with other members
The EAG Members-only forums provide a unique space for EAG members to ask questions, start discussions, provide help to other members, and network within the community. The forum categories cover all the main fields of geochemistry, as well as analytical methods and tools, teaching methods, community, open science and much more.
New this month on the Forum! Share your press releases and discuss the latest geochemistry-related news stories in the new “Geochemistry Making the News” category. Convening a session at Goldschmidt2021? Advertise your session in the dedicated topic in “Conferences and Events“.
Log in to the EAG Membership platform now to visit the forum, post a new topic, subscribe to receive topic updates or reply to earlier posts.

Latest Geochemical Perspectives: ‘Origins and Early Evolution of the Atmosphere and the Oceans’
In this issue, Bernard Marty explores the origin and fate of volatile elements, i.e. those which form the atmosphere and the oceans and permitted the development of life on our planet. From the analysis of volcanic rocks, ancient atmospheric gases, and meteorites, we learn that the Earth is depleted in volatile elements when compared to its potential cosmochemical ancestors and that natural fluxes of carbon are two orders of magnitude lower than those emitted by current anthropogenic activity. Further insights have come from space missions that document the composition of the proto-solar nebula and the outer solar system. READ MORE

Latest Elements: ‘Noble Gas Thermochronology’
Noble-gas thermochronology takes advantage of two properties: (1) the time-dependent production of noble gases, such as helium and argon, by processes like radioactive decay; (2) the thermally activated diffusion of these gases to constrain the temperature histories of several minerals commonly found in crustal rocks. Because temperature is essential to many geological processes, thermochronology has become widely used to address research questions across Earth and planetary science. These questions include when and how valleys are cut by glaciers; from where is sediment sourced; what thermal conditions occur on fault planes during slip; and how the surfaces of planetary bodies evolve on billion-year timescales.
