Dear colleagues, We would like to invite abstract submissions to a special symposium at the ACS Spring 2027 Meeting honoring the scientific achievements of 2027 Geochemistry Medalist Michelle Scherer. Symposium honoring the scientific achievements of 2027 Geochemistry Medalist Michelle Scherer The symposium will celebrate Professor Michelle Scherer’s broad and influential contributions to environmental geochemistry, including mineral-water interfacial reactions, redox processes, contaminant fate and transformation, environmental mineralogy, and related areas of geochemistry and environmental chemistry. We welcome contributed presentations that connect with these themes and with the broader scientific directions influenced by Professor Scherer’s work. ACS Spring 2027 Meeting New Orleans, LA March 21–25, 2027 Abstract submission deadline: September 28 Abstracts can be submitted through the ACS Spring 2027 Call for Abstracts under the Geochemistry Division (GEOC): https://callforabstracts.acs.org/acsspring2027/GEOC Organizers: Yuanzhi Tang, Georgia Institute of Technology David Cwiertny, University of Iowa Vitalii Starchenko, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Dan Tsang, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology We hope many colleagues from the mineralogical and geochemical communities will join us in New Orleans to celebrate Professor Scherer and the impact of her science. Best regards, Yuanzhi Tang on behalf of the symposium organizers ---------------------------------- Yuanzhi Tang (“Yuan-jee”; she/her) Georgia Power Professor School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences School of Civil and Environmental Engineering Executive Director, Strategic Energy Institute<https://energy.gatech.edu/> Founding Director, Center for Critical Mineral Solutions<https://minerals.research.gatech.edu/> Georgia Institute of Technology yuanzhi.tang@eas.gatech.edu<mailto:yuanzhi.tang@eas.gatech.edu> | tang.eas.gatech.edu<https://tang.eas.gatech.edu/> Co-Editor-in-Chief, Chemical Geology
