SECOND CIRCULAR
Metal in the weathering environment: from ores to the biosphere
Current research on metals in the weathering environment spans such diverse
and important fields of interest as supergene ore formation, corrosion of
steel and pollution bioavailability..Much of this research involves similar
technology and is underpinned by the same theoretical principles.The aim of
this one day meeting is to encourage collaboration between workers in these
different areas and with theoretical and experimental chemists studying
relevant topics such as metal speciation and reaction modelling at low
temperatures and pressures.There will be keynote papers on supergene ore
formation,bioavailability and mineral formation/metal speciation at low T
and P.
LOCATION
The meeting will be held at Burlington House in the offices of the
Geological Society of London. This offers first class presentation
facilities in the heart of London and is close to accommodation and all
amenities.
