Practical
Registration fee includes short course sessions, refreshments at Tuesday
evening reception, breakfast, lunch, and refreshments at breaks on Wednesday
and Thursday, Wednesday evening banquet, and a copy of the Reviews in
Mineralogy and Geochemistry volume. Transportation will be arranged to the
Fall AGU meeting in San Francisco after the short course for those who
request it. Short course participants should arrange their stay at the
DoubleTree Hotel-Monterey
(http://doubletreemonterey.com/) Tuesday and Wednesday night, where a
block of rooms is reserved at a special rate for
the short course. Call the hotel directly at 831-649-4511 before November 3
to get the special "Geochemical Society" block rate of $110/night (after
this date, all unreserved rooms in our block will be released).
Transportation from San Francisco (SFO) and San Jose (SJC) airports to
Monterey is provided by Monterey-Salinas Airbus (831-883-2871) at $30. per
person. See their web site for further information and schedules,

Rationale
The powerful applications of synchrotron radiation in geochemistry and
environmental science began to be realized about two decades ago. With the
advent of third-generation synchrotron radiation sources in Europe, North
America, and Japan, significant progress has been achieved in the
development and application of synchrotron methods to geological and
environmental materials. There has been exponential growth in the number
of synchrotron users from the earth and environmental science communities.
This Short Course is designed to fill the need for a comprehensive,
in-depth review of the underlying theory and applications of various
synchrotron radiation methods as they pertain specifically to geochemical
and environmental science applications. |

Present your research results
A session of the same title (”Synchrotron
Applications to Low-Temperature Geochemistry and Environmental Science”,
sponsored by the Volcanology, Geochemistry and Petrology section, session
# V05) will be held during the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting
(Dec. 6-10, 2002) in San Francisco following the GS/MSA short course. This
session solicits presentations of current research by scientists who are
applying synchrotron radiation techniques, including X-ray micro-imaging,
X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray scattering, to probe structures and
processes relevant to low-temperature geochemistry and environmental
science. Novel applications of synchrotron radiation techniques in these
areas are especially encouraged. See the AGU website for more information:
http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm02top.html#progcomm
Note: AGU abstract deadline for contributed abstracts is
29 August 2002 (postal/express mail) and
5 September 2002 1400 UT (Web submissions).
