Steele-MacInnis, Emily M. Stewart, and Jay Thomas. Their
affiliations and lecture titles are listed below.

Ananya Mallik (University of Arizona, AZ)

1.  Understanding crust-mantle interaction on Earth using nitrogen.
   

2.   How hot and wet is the Moon: insights and challenges.
   

*Matthew Steele-MacInnis (Univ. Alberta, Edmonton, Canada) - *The Peter
R. Buseck New Developments in Mineralogy and Petrology Lecturer (Univ.
Alberta, Edmonton)

1. The iron oxide-apatite problem, and the carbonate-sulfate solution.
   

2.  Teaching a (very) old dog new tricks: Investigating the mysteries
   

of Archean gold.

*Emily M. Stewart *(Florida State Univ., FL) – The Peter R. Buseck Public
Lecturer

1.  The intertwined fates of lithospheric carbon and life on Earth.
   

2.  The elephant passing through the room: how open system fluid flow
   

dominates carbonate metamorphism.

*Jay Thomas *(Syracuse University, NY)

1.  Out of (chemical) equilibrium and into metamorphic depths: mineral
   

inclusions in garnets and elastic thermobarometers reveal true
crystallization depths.

2. Truths, mirages, and shifting sands: parting Earth’s curtains using
   trace element-in-mineral thermobarometers to reveal crystallization
   conditions of felsic rocks.

We invite you to request a visit by an MSA lecturer to your institution for
the next academic year. The MSA covers Lecturer travel to and from your
institution, but host institutions are expected to cover local costs,
including room and meals.  We also appreciate your help with local travel.
We encourage requests from colleagues at primarily undergraduate
institutions and institutions outside North America. If your institution is
interested in requesting a visit, please send your request to Dave Jenkins
at dmjenks@binghamton.edu dmjenks@binghamton.edu. The Lecture Program
is designed to run from September 2022 through May 2023.  At this time the
Mineralogical Society of America is planning to have all of the lectures
scheduled as in-person lectures.  However, if the pandemic resurges to
unacceptably high levels and travel becomes compromised, the speakers and
host institution may wish to re-schedule their talk to be done virtually.
Lecturer requests received by June 30, 2022 will be given priority.  Late
applications will be considered on a space-available basis. For more
information about the MSA Distinguished Lecturer Program please visit the
following link:

When making your request please include the following information:

1. the name of a contact person at your institution for the months of June
   and July (when Lecturer schedules will be assembled), with contact e-mail
   addresses and phone numbers.

2. the start and end dates of your institution's academic semesters for
   2022-2023.

3. what day of the week you typically have department seminars (although
   please note that because of travel and schedule constraints it is often not
   possible to satisfy requests for tightly constrained dates or specific
   seminar days).

4. list the four speakers in order of preference.

5. list the closest airport to your institution, and the travel time to
   your institution.

Sincerely,

Dave Jenkins
