Goldschmidt2025

Thank you for your session and workshop proposals

Many thanks to all those who submitted session proposals for Goldschmidt2025. Theme chairs are currently reviewing sessions and we look forward to announcing the program next month!

Join the Goldschmidt2025 Press Team

During the conference, a number of press releases publicising advances made in geochemistry and presented at the conference will be issued. Press releases will be written by professional press officers. We are looking for volunteers to join the 2025 Press Team to help with the selection of newsworthy abstracts, provide guidance and contacts. For any questions or if interested, please email office@eag.org

Expression of Interest - Submitting to AGC

Advances in Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry is a Diamond Open Access Journal (Free to read - Free to publish) that aims to publish innovative and globally relevant articles in Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry. Regional studies put in the context of a wider research question will also be considered.

AGC is planning to open for submission in January 2025. In order to plan its initial workload, we encourage researchers to register their interest in submitting their work to AGC using an online form. Registering interest is not a pre-requisite for submission.
