Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to invite abstract submissions to our symposium:
Advanced X-Ray and Neutron Methods for Geochemical and Environmental
Research
ACS Spring 2027New Orleans, Louisiana, March 21–25, 2027
This symposium will highlight emerging and advanced X-ray and neutron
techniques for investigating geochemical and environmental processes across
a range of spatial, temporal, and chemical scales. We welcome contributions
that demonstrate how modern scattering, spectroscopy, imaging, and
total-scattering approaches provide new insights into the structure,
reactivity, and transformation of minerals and environmental materials.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- X-ray and neutron diffraction, scattering, and total-scattering methods
- Pair distribution function (PDF) analysis of crystalline,
nanocrystalline, and amorphous materials
- X-ray absorption spectroscopy and related spectroscopic techniques
- Resonant and surface-sensitive X-ray methods
- Synchrotron and neutron imaging and microscopy
- Mineral–water and mineral–organic interfaces
- Contaminant and nutrient interactions with minerals
- Mineral precipitation, dissolution, and transformation
- Redox processes and coupled mineral–organic reactions
- Critical minerals and resource recovery
- Environmental remediation and geochemical cycling
- In situ, operando, time-resolved, and extreme-environment measurements
- Advances in experimental and computational approaches for interpreting
X-ray and neutron data
Abstract submission
https://callforabstracts.acs.org/acsspring2027/GEOCdeadline:
September 28, 2026
We warmly encourage members of the mineralogical, geochemical, and
environmental communities to submit their work and share this call with
colleagues and students who may be interested.
We look forward to an engaging symposium that brings together researchers
developing and applying advanced X-ray and neutron techniques to understand
geochemical and environmental processes.
Best regards,
Peng Yang
