*Apologize for multiple postings* *Hello everyone,* *Final notification about our upcoming workshop. * This is the very final announcement introducing our last additions to our workshop`s lecturers team: *“Recent Developments and Applications in Earth and Planetary Sciences of Electron Probe Micro-analysis”* *Dates:* 23–26 March 2026 This workshop focuses on the electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA), highlighting modern developments and geological applications. *New this year:* sessions on Bruker AMICS automated mineralogy, oxidation state measurements in glasses and minerals, novel EPMA applications in meteoritics, advanced software tools for EPMA users, and the usage/importance of modern EDS systems. 🔗 *Workshop details:* https://sites.google.com/view/epma-athens2026 📝 *Register here:* https://forms.gle/FDFmdB4tVBKq4cpr7 *Meet our lecturers (Vol.3):* - *Kayleigh Harvey (JEOL USA)* – Kayleigh is an experienced microscopist with a background in metamorphic petrology and geochemistry. Her prior research focused on addressing long-standing questions in subduction zone dynamics, with a focus on the temporal evolution of the subduction zone interface. In her current role, she leverages her background in microanalysis for materials characterization by electron microscopy (SEM, EPMA), supporting researchers and engineers across North and South America as they advance and expand their analytical capabilities through technical training and guidance. - *George Stonadge (Oxford Instruments, Imaging & Analysis)* – Dr.  George Stonadge spent eight years at the University of Leicester, completing both his MGeol and PhD. His research focused on understanding the geological processes that control the formation of mineral resources and on developing practical tools to identify them in the field and laboratory. This work made extensive use of automated mineralogy, energy‑dispersive X‑ray spectroscopy, and wavelength‑dispersive spectroscopy, with an emphasis on quantifying mineral compositions. Following industrial placements at Zeiss Microscopy and Oxford Instruments, where he developed a strong enthusiasm for microanalysis, George joined the team as a Product Scientist in January 2024 taking over management of the Geology sector. This workshop offers *valuable knowledge for undergraduate and postgraduate students, PhDs, postdocs, senior scientists, and lab managers*, covering both basics and advanced aspects of EPMA. *Fees:* - only LATE registration possible: €52 Secure your virtual seat soon! 🔗 *Workshop details:* https://sites.google.com/view/epma-athens2026 📝 *Register here:* https://forms.gle/FDFmdB4tVBKq4cpr7 *On behalf of the EPMA workshop committee,* *Best regards,* Baziotis Ioannis ---------------------------------------------------------------- Ioannis Baziotis ibaziotis@aua.gr Associate Professor of Mineralogy and Petrology Director of the Center of Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning Laboratory of Mineralogy and Geology Agricultural University of Athens 75 Iera Odos St., Athens, 11855 Greece (+30)-210-529-4155; (+30)-6975967914 Personal site: http://ibaziotis.wix.com/ioannis-baziotis ----------------------------------------------------------------
