The 4th International Workshop on Highly Siderophile Element Geochemistry will take place in Durham, United Kingdom (July 11th-15th 2016) and is hosted by the Durham Geochemistry Group of the Department of Earth Sciences. A draft list of themes is given here.
This specialist workshop is expected to be a 3.5 to 5 day event and is open to all interested parties at an international level. The meeting is timed to occur between the 2016 Annual Goldschmidt Conference and the Annual Meeting of the Meteoritical Society. It shall complement the short course on highly siderophile and strongly chalcophile elements in high temperature geochemistry and cosmochemistry held 7 months prior and linked to a new RiMG volume.
The 4th HSE workshop is of cross-disciplinary appeal in covering analytical advances, as well as low-temperature and high-temperature geo- and cosmochemistry topics pertaining to HSEs and allied elements. The meeting and related activities will provide opportunities for friendly exchange between scientists of all levels, thus offering the potential for all to accelerate knowledge/technology sharing and explore new observations that advance understanding of key geo- and cosmochemistry questions. Additionally, we anticipate many opportunities for useful new international collaborations to nucleate during the workshop; these will be highly beneficial to continued progress in HSE frontier science and will support overall advances within the geochemistry community, help to create pathways for present and future students, and potentially provide for the early-stages of discussions to commercialise scientific applications for industry.
Abstract Deadline: March 4, 2016
- All presenters may submit up to two abstracts.
- A number of travel bursaries will be awarded.
- Prizes will be awarded for outstanding student research presentations.
Please consider submitting full research articles presenting relevant and compelling new research to the GCA thematic volume “Highly Siderophile Element [and closely-related] Constraints on Low- and High-Temperature Earth and Planetary Processes”.
Be sure to register quickly to secure a place on the workshop’s field trip to the Scottish Isle of Rum.
As part of this meeting, the workshop’s keynote will present an engaging public talk on Monday July 11th.
