With 14 themes spread over five days, the Goldschmidt science program offers the latest research in geochemistry, presented by scientists from around the globe. All talks and posters will be accessible in person or remotely. With remote attendance, you can listen to any talk at the conference and look at any poster — all at your convenience. The Goldschmidt hybrid format makes for a more inclusive conference, enabling a greater number of delegates to participate. In-person delegates can also watch the sessions they miss during the week.
We would like to invite members of the EAG, as well as anyone interested in the society, to join us at the EAG Members Reception on Wednesday 21 August at 19:30 in Chicago. This is an opportunity to meet some of the EAG Councillors and staff, to share feedback, ideas or ask any questions you may have.
Upcoming deadlines for EAG Student Sponsorship & Early Career Ambassadors
The EAG Student Sponsorship Program supports onsite participation at events held in Europe, or online participation at events held elsewhere. Successful applicants will receive sponsorship of up to €1000 to cover registration, abstract fees, and travel expenses where applicable. Applicants may be based in any country. Next application deadline: 1 September
The Early Career Science Ambassador Program provides funding for young scientists based in Europe who wish to attend conferences outside Europe, or to attend a fully virtual or hybrid conference remotely. Supported scientists attending in person will have 50% of their expenses covered by EAG, up to €1500. Next application deadline: 1 October

Barium isotope evidence for a magmatic fluid-dominated petrogenesis of LCT-type pegmatites
Understanding the petrogenesis of granitic pegmatites associated with Li mineralisation is fundamental in constraining rare metal enrichment mechanisms. However, there is still significant controversy surrounding...
Subduction of sedimentary carbonate in the Mariana trench
Calcium carbonate is a major component of shallow marine sediments but is rarely preserved in deep sea environments below the calcite compensation depth (CCD). In this study, we present evidence of sedimentary...
Chondritic osmium isotope composition of early Earth mantle
The Ujaragssuit Intrusion, North Atlantic Craton (NAC), Greenland, is thought to host the oldest chromitites (>3.8 Ga) on Earth, showing evidence of both Hadean mantle depletion events and nucleosynthetic...
Spicule morphology impacts stable silicon isotopic composition of sponge archives
The stable silicon isotopic composition of siliceous sponge skeletal elements, spicules, forms a potential proxy for past dissolved silicon (DSi) concentrations of bottomwaters. Field-based studies have shown that there is...
Surprising asteroid sample reveals Bennu may have originated from an ocean world
[CNN] An early analysis of a sample collected from the asteroid Bennu suggests that the space rock had an unexpectedly water-rich past — and it may have even splintered off from an ancient ocean world. The NASA OSIRIS-REx mission scooped up...
Incredible Hydrothermal Environment Discovered Deep Beneath the Ocean
[Sciencealert.com] A stunning new wonderland has been discovered, hidden deep beneath the ocean waves of the Arctic Circle. Off the coast of Svalbard, in Norway, more than 3,000 meters (9,842 feet) down, a field of hydrothermal vents unfolds...
Researchers look to Caribbean volcano for geothermal energy and critical metals
[Independent] Researchers in the UK are looking to a Caribbean volcano to provide answers about where metals vital for batteries and electric cars can be found, and how power can be generated from its heat. Volcanoes around the world emit...
The World’s Oldest Crystals Contain Traces Of Even Older Sediments
[Iflscience.com] Within the oldest crystals in the world, collected from Western Australia’s Jack Hills, lie the remnants of even older rocks – some of which were reprocessed through magma into the surviving crystals. With the help of machine learning...
China’s Chang’e-6 moon mission returns to Earth with historic far side samples
[CNN] China’s Chang’e-6 lunar module returned to Earth Tuesday, successfully completing its historic mission to collect the first ever samples from the far side of the moon in a major step forward for the country’s ambitious space program...
Study finds Arctic warming three-fold compared to global patterns
[phys.org] Global warming is an omnipresent issue, with widespread initiatives to draw down emissions and mitigate against the International Panel on Climate Change's worse-case scenario predictions of 3.2°C of warming by 2100...
