Hi Tracy
I am interested that you will discuss the hadean
zircon research at AGU. What is planned? We
will present new data at AGU on Ti in our samples
that questions the conclusions of Watson and
harrison.

>Solid Earth Sciences. We invite participation in

>ISES Forum III will focus on processes of

>results of the meeting (through a website or
>white paper). In particular, we hope that this
>forum will inform ongoing work in the EarthScope
