Hi everyone,
As a convener, I would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the session: 08a: Metal Mobility in the Critical Zone and its Implications to Geochemical Exploration in Weathered Terrains in the Goldschmidt 2020.
The description of the session is below:
Shallow mineral deposit discoveries are becoming less common and those world-class deposits are either mined out or decreasing in production. One of the fundamental challenges for mineral exploration industry in this century is targeting deeper concealed mineral deposits under the critical zone. The increase in demand for mineral resources worldwide is driving investment in developing new geochemical exploration methods for vectoring concealed mineral deposits in deeply weathered and covered terrains. Extensive older terrains of Australia, India, West Africa, Brazil and China are deeply weathered and others such as Canada and Fennoscandia are overlain by recent glacial sediments. Thus, geochemical signatures of the mineralisation and the host rock can be obscured by deep weathering and transported cover providing challenges for exploring these terrains. The purpose of this session is to bring together a number of contributions showing interdisciplinary integrated approaches for understanding physical and biogeochemical mechanisms for metal mobility from the mineralised source through the critical zone to surface. The session also invites topics discussing recent advances in developing or improving geochemical and analytical (isotopic and dating) techniques, numerical modelling and experimental methods applied for mineral exploration through the critical zone. Geochemistry of supergene ore deposits, indicator mineral chemistry, and hydrogeochemical studies are also part of this session.

Finally, I appreciate your quick response to my message and if you are not able to attend, could you please circulate this invitation to other colleagues working in the same field.

Forgot to tell that deadline for abstract submission is 14 of February 2020. Happy new year.
Dear Walid,
Hope to find you well.
As a researcher in the field of fluid geochemistry and hydrothermal alterations I am really eager to attend in your session but regarding to the current economic situations we are not able to attend without financial aids of the conference coordinators.
Regards,
Rahim
Dear Rahim,
Thanks for your interest in attending the Goldschmidt 2020 conference.
The organizing committee for Goldschmidt 2020 is only supporting attending the conference through the Goldschmidt grant program.
https://goldschmidt.info/2020/grants
The GS and EAG are committed to making the Goldschmidt Conference accessible to students and early career scientists. The Goldschmidt grant program provides waived registration fees and travel support for early career delegates from countries designated by the World Bank as “low-income” or “lower-middle-income” economies. Additionally, grants for US-based students and postdocs are available through support from US funding agencies. These grants are awarded on a competitive basis for delegates who meet the requirements outlined below. All applications must be completed by January 31, 2020.
Best regards
Walid
