Goldschmidt2021 Virtual Format
As announced recently by Derek Vance, EAG President, in this video, Goldschmidt2021 will be a fully virtual meeting. With this new format, there will be live online sessions from 5-9 July and everyone will have the opportunity to present live.
The sessions will take place in the morning European time (09:00-11:30 CET) to accommodate presenters based in Asia, Oceania, Africa and Europe, and in the afternoon European time (16:30-19:00 CET) to accommodate presenters based in North, South, Central America, Africa and Europe.
All presenting authors received an email on 7 April asking them to confirm their time zone and let us know by 17 April in case they do not wish to present live. If you have not received your email, please contact us.

Student Helpers: new application deadline 27 April
With the conference now moving to a fully online format, we have modified the Student Helper Program. To apply, you need to be a student, fluent in English, and proficient with Zoom.
Student helpers can volunteer on the day(s) of their choice, for various lengths of time and will be paid an honorarium. Above 20 hours of work during the conference week, free registration is also provided.

Latest Elements issue: Shedding Light on the European Alps
The European Alps are one of the most studied orogens worldwide. Research over last 30 years is forcing us to rethink our understanding of Alpine evolution: new concepts have emerged that question long-established paradigms. The articles in this issue provide a petrological, geochemical, and tectonic overview of the Alpine Orogeny, from rifting and spreading to subduction and collision and, finally, to postcollisional uplift and erosion. The current debates regarding the origins of (ultra-)high pressure metamorphism, the origins of syncollisional magmatism, and the evolution of rifting and ocean spreading are discussed. And, the consequences of the new interpretations on the dynamics of subduction and collision are examined.
All EAG members have online access to current and past issues of Elements.

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!

People’s profiles – Jeffrey Paulo Perez
Jeffrey’s current research is focused on iron redox (geo)chemistry in natural and engineered environments. His postdoctoral research focuses on molecular scale mineral-organic matter interface processes in Arctic soils. pecifically, Jeffrey is interested in elucidating the mechanisms and pathways of the formation and transformation of iron-bearing minerals.

People’s profiles – Vera Assis Fernandes
Vera Assis Fernandes is a Planetary Scientist who primarily applies the Ar-isotope chronology technique – in combination with petrographic and geochemical characterisation – to decipher different thermal events. Her work predominantly focuses on lunar rocks (Apollo and Luna missions, and lunar meteorites) thereby constraining the timing and nature of rock formation and later disturbances.

A genetic metasomatic link between eclogitic and peridotitic diamond inclusions
Diamond inclusions sample the otherwise inaccessible archive of Earth’s deep interior. The geochemical and petrological diversity of diamond inclusions reflects either pre-metasomatic upper mantle heterogeneity or metasomatism coeval with diamond formation....

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...

Rocks at bottom of deep ocean provide marine food chains with vital nutrients
[UPI] According to a new study, published this week in the journal PNAS, phytoplankton and marine algae, which form the bases of aquatic food webs, rely on nitrogen released from sediments on the floor of the deep ocean. Previously, scientists have argued oxygen in the deep ocean prevents dissolved iron from escaping eroded seabed rocks.

Corals carefully organize proteins to form rock-hard skeletons: Scientists' findings suggest corals will withstand climate change
[Scientific Daily] Charles Darwin, the British naturalist who championed the theory of evolution, noted that corals form far-reaching structures, largely made of limestone, that surround tropical islands. He didn't know how they performed this feat. Now, Rutgers scientists have shown that coral structures consist of a biomineral containing...

Spooky 'spiders on Mars' finally explained after two decades
[Live Science] Ziggy played guitar, and scientists in the U.K. played with a big chunk of dry ice to try to figure out what's behind the strange alien patterns known as the "spiders on Mars." Those patterns, visible in satellite images of the Red Planet's south pole, aren't real spiders, of course; but the branching, black shapes carved into the Martian surface...

Dark matter could warm the hearts of lonely old planets, scientists predict
[ScienceMag] Dark matter might be raising the temperature of planets outside our Solar System, a pair of physicists predicts. Space telescopes already in the works should be able to spot the effect, they say, potentially enabling scientists to trace how the mysterious stuff is distributed within our Milky Way Galaxy. “In science, we rarely get a brand-new idea,” says Sara Seager....
