35th IGC Topics in Mineralogy

Organization of the 35th IGC is progressing well, with over 4800 oral and poster presentations accepted from well over 5000 abstract submissions.  There are 48 themes at this point, and some of the sessions and symposia will be of particular interest to Mineralogists and Analytical Geochemists under the core Congress topics:

Geoscience in Society

  • Spectral Geology in Exploration (minerals, hydrocarbon, geothermal) and Production

Geoscience in the Economy

  • Mineral deposit footprints
  • Quantitative geoscience data analysis for mineral exploration targeting
  • The Mineral system approach: the paradigm and future trends
  • Trace element analysis of minerals: applications in ore geology (Sponsored by IAGOD)
  • Trace Constituents in Coal: Occurrence, Emissions, and Environmental Impact
  • Applied Mineralogy and Geometallurgy (General Sessions)

Fundamental Geoscience

  • Redox reactions as controls on geochemical processes in the crust and mantle
  • Geochronology (African Geochronology and General Sessions)
  • Isotope Geoscience (General Sessions)
  • Fluid and melt inclusions in Minerals
  • Gems: bringing the World together
  • Applications of X-ray computed tomography in the Earth Sciences
  • Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for the Geosciences

There is much more that will be of interest to mineralogists and geochemists.  Visit the website here and click on the core topics, followed by the theme of interest.
