Dear Geochemists, Register and submit your abstracts for the GGRiP meeting (Bristol, 24th-26th March 2026): Visit the GGRiP website<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%… to register and submit your abstract (Deadline 27th Feb). Early bird prices apply before 16th February 2026. After this, prices will increase. For GGRiP 2026, we are running 2 pre-conference workshops that will be free for attendees: * The first is a Geochemistry Laboratory Operator Workshop, covering lab techniques and lab management. Register for this workshop here<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ff…amp;reserved=0>. * The second workshop is aimed at ECRs, covering the basics and foundations of mass spectrometry techniques. To register for this workshop, please fill in this form<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ff…amp;reserved=0>. There will be guest lecturers from across earth science/chemistry/Archaeology. Topics will include: (1) Introduction to Atoms, Molecules, Ions, Fields and Forces. (2) Inorganic Mass Spectrometry for Elemental and Isotope Ratio Determination: Quads, TOF, Sectors, (CC)-MC-ICPMS. (3) GC and LC Mass Spectrometry Techniques for Separating and Quantifying Molecules in Complex Mixtures; compound specific IRMS (C,N,H). Register for Mineralogical Society at 150: Past Discoveries and Future Frontiers: The Mineralogical Society will celebrate its sesquicentennial during 2026. The focal point of our celebrations will be a three-day meeting at the University of Manchester from 23–25 June 2026. All are welcome, from students and early-career researchers to those who have a lifetime of Society experience under their belts! The Geochemistry Group are supporting the session ‘Advances in Mineralogical Analysis - Development of techniques for 21st Century Research’ by funding two keynote speakers. Please consider submitting to our session! The scientific sessions will be held in the Schuster Building and the banquet, on the night of 23rd June, will be held at the wonderful Whitworth Hall.
