Dear Geochemists, Our latest updates are here…. GGRIP 2026 - Save the date! We are excited to announce that the next Geochemistry Group Research in Progress (GGRiP) meeting will take place in Bristol on the 24th-26th of March 2026. More details to follow soon! Jobs: UCL have a lectureship advertised with a tight timeline (closing date 24 June). Full details here: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/search-ucl-jobs/details?jobId=35084&j…%3D&reserved=0>. The position is a full-time permanent academic post at Lecturer level (Grade 8) in Earth Sciences. Research areas include the climate crisis, hydrogeology, sustainable resources, the energy transition, natural hazards, and planetary science. Meeting attendance Bursaries (PhDs & ECRs): More information and the application form can be found on our website https://geochemistry.group/funding-opportunities/<https://eur03.safelink…amp;reserved=0>. These are often under subscribed, so you stand a great chance of success. You have plenty of time before the 15th October deadline, perfect if you are planning to go to a conference this winter! Geo-Bio Interfaces: Please consider submitting your papers to Geo-Bio Interfaces, a journal of the Mineralogical Society. It aims to answer fundamental and emerging questions in geoscience and bioscience, by exploring contemporary scientific disciplines and the interconnection between them. The table below shows the full scope of the journal: SECTION THEME Microbial Microbial controls in the geo-environment Microbial controls in astrogeobiology Biofilm form and function Contributions to geochemical cycles Microbial weathering of minerals, rocks and soils Extremophiles Environmental Bioremediation of toxic substances Water treatment and wastewater management Biocatalysis of minerals and biomineralization Carbon sequestration Geochemical Mineral-microbe-water reactions, thermodynamics, and kinetics Isotope (bio)geochemistry Geochemical and biogeochemical reactions and controls Reactive transport modelling and colloid transport Scaling of geochemical and biogeochemical reactions Trace metals and organics in biogeochemical cycles Energy and Resources Mineral capture, storage and disposal Geomicrobiological prospecting Microbial transformation of economically important minerals and elements Biomining and resource recovery Challenges of sustainability and geomaterials Microbe-mineral interfaces in soil productivity and agriculture Earth Science Women’s Network: After a successful set of events over the past four years, the Earth Science Women's Network Professional Development and Networking Committee (formerly Member Events) is now planning a new set of event activities for implementation in future years from late 2025 onwards. The landscape today may feel quite different to how it was several years ago. To ensure that our activities are aligned with the needs and interests of the ESWN community and that they are timely, we invite you to participate in a ~5 minutes survey (open to all) to help us shape the program: https://forms.gle/DyZHMhvNVzV7J5zh7<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.o… (survey closes on June 30) Follow us on Bluesky and LinkedIn: Our X account is no longer, so please: * Follow us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/geochemgroup.bsky.social<https://eur03.safelink…amp;reserved=0>. * We now have the Geochemistry Group set up as a ‘company' on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-geochemistry-group/<https://eur03.s…amp;reserved=0>, so please follow us here! * Also a plug for our parent body, the Mineralogical Society of the UK, follow them on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/mineralogical-society-of-uk-and-ireland/&l… for lots of relevant updates. YouTube: Check out some great resources on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@geochemistrygroup4420<https://eur03.safelinks.p…amp;reserved=0>. Here you can watch all our past series of 'ECR Skills for Geochemists' and 'Out of Academia: Into Science’. Mineralogical Society: The Society now offers 300 free student memberships for 3 years! This is a fantastic offer and we encourage all students to join.
