Goldschmidt2023 press team: call for volunteers
During every Goldschmidt conference, a number of press releases publicising advances made in geochemistry and presented at the conference are issued. This outreach initiative is the result of the work of the Goldschmidt Press Officer and the Press Team. We are currently looking for volunteers to join the 2023 Press Team to help with the selection of newsworthy abstracts and provide guidance and contacts. For any questions or if interested, please contact the EAG Office.
Information for in-person and remote attendees
If you are planning to attend Goldschmidt in-person, more information on the sessions, venue, travel, childcare and other arrangements is available here.
If you are planning to attend Goldschmidt remotely, more information about the session format, workshops for remote delegates and networking opportunities is available here.

IAVCEI Commission on Volcanic Lakes – 11th Workshop on Volcanic Lakes - São Miguel Island, Azores; 28 August – 5 September (application deadlines approaching! More information below!)
EAG co-sponsored event: 11th Workshop on Volcanic Lakes
TheIAVCEI Commission on Volcanic Lakes: 11th Workshop on Volcanic Lakes will bring together scientists to enable the exchange of ideas on a broad range of topics, including: state-of-the-art field measurement techniques; geochemical, geophysical, and microbiological characteristics and monitoring of volcanic lakes; modeling of volcanic lake system processes, and hazard forecasting and mitigation. CVL 11 will offer formal scientific sessions and field visits to intra-caldera lakes.
Grants to cover registration costs are available. Preference will be given to grad students and early career scientists working on volcanic lakes, especially in Low and Middle Income Countries (see the 2nd circular for information).
Grant application deadline: 24 February Abstract & Registration deadline: 3 March
EAG Early Career Science Ambassador Program: apply by 1 March
The Early Career Science Ambassador Program provides up to 1500€ (50% of total expenses) for early career scientists (final stages of PhD or up to 6 years post-PhD) based in Europe to attend conferences held outside Europe (except Goldschmidt). For online attendance, the award covers abstract and registration fees and the program is open to applicants based in any country for a conference held in any country. Next deadline: 1 March
Elements October issue: ‘Cement and Concrete: From the Romans to Mars'
Portland cement represents an essential commodity in a developing and quickly urbanizing world. However, the downside of its popularity is a massive ecological footprint, in terms of global warming potential and consumption of mineral and water resources. Therefore, the development of sustainable alternatives to ordinary Portland cement constitutes a fundamental technological and societal challenge. In this context, mineralogy and geochemistry play an important role in assessing primary and secondary resources for a new generation of cement and concrete...
