Free and Discounted Student Access to Goldschmidt2021 Online
The 2021 Goldschmidt Conference is being planned as a hybrid meeting, meaning that it will take place both onsite in Lyon, France and online. While the deadline has passed for the regular Grant Program, the EAG and GS are still offering free or reduced registration for students and certain early career scientists for online participation.
The virtual part of the conference is a great opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to learn about the latest discoveries and engage with scientists from around the world.
If you meet the eligibility criteria, you can apply for waived registration. If you are not eligible, then registration is only €75 for student members of either society.

Student Helpers: apply by 9 April
If you are a student, are fluent in English, and are considering attending the conference onsite in Lyon, you can still apply for the Student Helper Program.
Student helpers can volunteer for two, four or six days. Those working four or six days receive a free registration and a stipend of 60 Euros per day.

Early Career Program: more events on offer this year
A comprehensive Early Career Program has been assembled for our community of junior scientists, with events on career development, diversity and inclusion, networking, science communication, and more.
Most events are free of charge, taking place both onsite in Lyon and online, and scheduled in various time zones to accommodate all delegates. You can sign up when registering for the conference.

Invitation to join the EAGE-EAG community group on LinkedIn
The European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers and the EAG have started a geochemistry focused community group on LinkedIn, connecting geochemists in the industry to geochemists in academia. Through this collaboration, we invite you to participate in discussions, share news and ideas, and discover all the opportunities offered by the two societies!

Latest Elements issue: Hydrothermal Fluids
Fluids are the principle agents of heat and mass transfer in the Earth. This thematic issue will explore the physical and chemical properties of hydrothermal fluids and how they affect geologic processes. The issue will discuss our current understanding of the nature of hydrothermal fluids across a range of geologic settings; interactions between fluids and rocks; and the interrelationships between fluid-driven processes in different settings. Each article will highlight both broad and specific overlaps between “normal” and ore-forming hydrothermal fluids and will describe how the features of hydrothermal systems reflect the specific properties of the fluids in each setting.
All EAG members have online access to current and past issues of Elements.

Ca isotope systematics of carbonatites: Insights into carbonatite source and evolution
Carbonatite, an unusual carbonate-rich igneous rock, is known to be sourced from the mantle which provides insights into mantle-to-crust carbon transfer. To constrain further the Ca isotopic composition of carbonatites, investigate the behaviour of Ca isotopes during their evolution, and constrain whether recycled carbonates are involved in their source regions, we report δ44/42Ca for 47 worldwide carbonatite and....

Molybdenum isotope constraints on the temporal development of sulfidic conditions during Mediterranean sapropel intervals
Mediterranean sapropels represent some of the largest scale deoxygenation events in recent Earth history. Here, we use high resolution Mo isotope data for seven such events (sapropels S3 to S9) to semi-quantitatively constrain past H2S concentrations using...

The composition and weathering of the continents over geologic time
The composition of continental crust records the balance between construction by tectonics and destruction by physical and chemical erosion. Quantitative constraints on how igneous addition and chemical weathering have modified the continents’ bulk composition are essential...

Selenium isotope evidence for pulsed flow of oxidative slab fluids
Isotope systematics of the redox sensitive and chalcophile element selenium (Se) were investigated on exhumed parts of subducted oceanic lithosphere to provide new constraints on slab dehydration conditions during subduction. The samples show increasing...

Gloucestershire meteorite is first UK find in 30 years
[BBC] Several rocky fragments have been recovered from the fireball that lit up the sky above southern England just over a week ago. They came down in the Winchcombe area of Gloucestershire. A householder first alerted experts after noticing a pile of charred stone on his driveway....

100-Million-Year-Old Seafloor Sediment Bacteria Have Been Resuscitated
[Scientific American] In 2010, Japanese scientists from the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program’s Expedition 329 sailed into the South Pacific Gyre with a giant drill and a big question. The gyre is a marine desert more barren than all but the aridest places on Earth. Ocean currents swirl around it...

Europe's largest meteorite crater is home to deep ancient fungi
[Phys.org] Fractured rocks of impact craters have been suggested as suitable environments for deep colonization of microbial communities. In a new study published in Communications Earth & Environment, a team of researchers shows that fungi has colonized deep parts of the largest impact crater in Europe...

Nasa's Perseverance Mars rover listens to its rock-zapping laser
[BBC] The US space agency's Perseverance rover has deployed its SuperCam instrument on Mars for the first time. This high-intensity light probe can identify rocks at a distance. It's a technique that was also employed by Nasa's previous rover, Curiosity. But Perseverance has some enhancements, including a microphone that allows us to actually hear the laser at work....

Ancient Earth was a water world
[Science Mag] Across the ages, sea levels have risen and fallen with temperatures—but Earth’s total surface water was always assumed to be constant. Now, evidence is mounting that some 3 billion to 4 billion years ago, the planet’s oceans held nearly twice as much water....

Study shows how resilience of the Earth's climate system has changed over time
[AZO Life Sciences] Oxygen levels in the ancient oceans were surprisingly resilient to climate change, new research suggests. Scientists used geological samples to estimate ocean oxygen during a period of global warming 56 million years ago - and found "limited expansion" of seafloor anoxia (absence of oxygen)....
