This session will cover a range of important topics surrounding lithium resources, with a focus on lithium geochemistry, mineralization, and its role in the energy transition. Key Session Details: • Session Link: https://conf.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/2025/meetingapp.cgi/Session/7745<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://conf.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/2025/meetingapp.cgi/Session/7745__;!!IqQd2s6KUyvHwNLtrw!qnhB8YA6tEJm7ghpmxCISyt7NSOU82AicJvdDKCzLvueDuLMxbZL2Vj1ZZbgBtKK-bjYdhrQsFkLHDu0gIp7Uv0uYA$>; • Abstract Submission Deadline: February 26, 2025 Session Topics Include: • Lithium cycling and mineralization • Lithium in pegmatites • Lithium in brines • Lithium in clays • Lithium geochemistry and mineralization • Role of lithium resources in the global energy transition Keynote Speaker: • Encar Roda-Robles (talk on Li resources in the Iberian Peninsula) Invited Speakers: • Martin Palmer (talk titled “The role of post-collisional processes in the Li resource cycle”) Additionally, we will offer one slot for a junior invited speaker, providing an excellent career-building opportunity. This speaker will be finalized after the abstract submission deadline. We invite you to submit abstracts to contribute to this exciting session. We are looking for high-quality contributions that address lithium brines, pegmatites, clays, and other unconventional lithium deposits. Please share this session with your networks, and help us spread the word. Your support is greatly appreciated!🍻 Cheers, Chen ____________________________________________________________ Chen Chen Co-Chair, Lithium Resources Session | Goldschmidt 2025 Assistant Research Fellow, Institute of Oceanology, CAS Incoming Assistant Professor, Nanjing University [PastedGraphic-1.png]
