NEW OPEN ACCESS ARTICLE: Whole rock lithogeochemical analysis of the Mount Read Volcanics: a new tool for geochemical exploration The Mount Read Volcanics (MRV) of western Tasmania is a belt of Middle to Late Cambrian submarine volcanics and volcaniclastics and one of the major base and precious metal provinces within Australia. Exploration success in the MRV has been in decline in recent years due to a variety of challenges including intensely altered rocks with complex stratigraphy and lithofacies variation, and a lack of accessible outcrop. As a result, local and regional mapping of the MRV is often restricted to Group-level stratigraphy, rendering geological mapping ineffective for identifying decametre-scale mine stratigraphy.

Registration is OPEN for the Digital Geoscience Conference taking place on 28-29 October ‘Intelligent Solutions in Geoscience’. This two-day event brings together geoscientists, researchers, industry professionals and technology enthusiasts to explore the intersection of geoscience and cutting-edge technology. It will showcase research, applications and success stories about how to use digital tools and technologies to revolutionise how to study and understand the planet. It aims to spark innovative ideas that will shape the future of the discipline. The conference aims to address several key questions across various themes. Based on the feedback from the previous conference in the Digital Geoscience Conference series, AI will be a bigger focus of the event, with a look at how systems can be created that can learn from geoscience data, identify patterns and make decisions which can help us solve complex geological problems. Why attend? • Network: Connect with experts, researchers, and industry leaders passionate about digital geoscience • Showcase your work: Present your findings through oral presentations or posters. Inspire others with your innovative solutions • Shape the Future: Contribute to the evolution of digital geoscience by sharing your thoughts and breakthroughs Members of the Geological Society can save £135 (40% off!) by using their membership number at checkout. Register your space today!

Delighted to announce a new event under our #climateandecology theme at The Geological Society Chemical Weathering, Climate Change and the Global Carbon Cycle Conference This conference will bring together an interdisciplinary community of scientists working on modern systems, reconstructing palaeo-weathering, as well as understanding the process of mineral breakdown and how to quantify this. Key topics explored: - Review what is known about modern chemical weathering processes and fluxes - Explore the proxies used for quantifying chemical weathering and how these might be improved - Synthesise what is known about past chemical weathering processes and their impact on global climate evolution. Who will benefit from attending: The meeting is designed to engage a diverse and dynamic audience of professionals, researchers, and experts from various sectors. The expectation of this conference is to have the different sub-disciplines of the weathering community talk to one another and derive a more holistic understanding of how chemical weathering occurs, how we can measure it and what the impact of it is on the global climate system. The intention is to write up the results as a special publication of the GSL. In particular, we would like to reconcile estimates of modern chemical weathering fluxes with geologically-derived silicate weathering estimates from sedimentary sequences. The call for abstracts is open and will close on Monday 2 December 2024. To find out more and submit your abstract please visit: https://lnkd.in/eGFUw8zg Convenors: Prof Peter Clift (University College London) Prof Philip Pogge von Strandmann (Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz) Prof Kate Hendry (British Antarctic Survey) Dr. Anne-Catherine Pierson-Wickmann (Université de Rennes) Keynote Speakers Daniel Enrique Ibarra University) Emily Stevenson (Cambridge) David Wilson (UCL) Sophie Opfergelt (UCLouvain) Supported by The Geological Society events team and Science and Funding Officer. #chemicalweathering #climate #climateevents #chemicalweathering2025
