Announcements V.M. GOLDSCHMIDT CONFERENCE The Hunt Valley Inn near Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A., May 11 - 13, 1988 To mark the centennial year of V.M. Goldschmidt's birth, the Geochemical Society organizes a conference at the H u n t Valley Inn, 25 km north of Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A., from May 11 to 13, 1988. The following symposia are planned: (1) Geochemical cycles; (2) Paleo-oceanography; (3) The Archean environment; (4) Ore-forming processes; (5) Geochemistry with cosmogenic isotopes; (6) Environmental geochemistry; (7) Organic geochemistry in hydrocarbon exploration; (8) Origin and diagenesis of humic substances, coal and kerogen; (9) Modern concepts in crystal chemistry; (10) Mantle petrology and mineralogy; and (11) Geochemistry of platinum group metals. The registration fee is US $120 for general participants, US $100 for members of sponsoring societies and US $80 for members of sponsoring societies who make use of preregistration. The preregistration deadline is February 15, 1988. The European Association for Geochemistry sponsors this event. Additional information may be obtained from: Dr. H.L.

EAG INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF GEOCHEMISTRY AND COSMOCHEMISTRY Paris, France, August 29-September 2, 1988
The European Association for Geochemistry (EAG) organizes as its 1988 annual meeting an International Congress of Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry in Paris from August 29 to September 2, 1988. The purpose of this meeting is to serve as a forum where geochemists and cosmochemists can meet, discuss and explain their observational, experimental and theoretical research, results as well as techniques.

The program committee welcomes presentations on all aspects of geochemistry and cosmochemistry, ranging from astrochemistry to biogeochemistry, from environmental chemistry to chemistry of the Earth core, from the application of quantum mechanics to the study of geomaterials to the modeling of chemical fractionation taking place during igneous processes, from kinetics to the thermodynamic analysis of the feasibility of ge~chemical reactions, from nucleosynthesis to water-rock interactions, from physh:oo chemical volcanology to ultra-high-pressure experimentation, etc. Contributions on all these subjects will be grouped in open sessions and in 24 planned symposia: (1) Nucteosynthesis and isotope anomalies in meteorites; (2) Condensation processes in the earl) solar system and the formation of chondrites: ( 3 t Rare gas geochemistry and the solid Earth-atmosphere relationship; ( 4 ) Oceanic basalts and chemical studies of the Earth mantle; (5) Ultra-high-pressure experiments and the nature of the lower mantle and core; (6) Development of the continental crust through geological time; (7) Kinetic geochemistry; (8) Liquid silicates and the physical chemistry of magmas; (9) Curren~ trends in atmospheric sciences: (10) Geochemical variability of the ocean on a 10-i~l ~ year time scale: causes and consequences; ( 111 Biogeochemistry of terrestrial and marine ecosystems; (12) Interactions between extra-terrestrial and terrestrial phenomena (cosmic rays, K - T boundary, etc. J: (13) Uranium series disequilibria and short-lived phenomena; (14) Isotopic tracers and ore deposit studies; (15) Early development of the Earth and Archean geochemistry; (161 Quantitative modeling of trace elements; {~ ?:~ Experimental petrology applied to fluid systems and fluid-rock interactions; (18) The water cycle and isotopic tracers in ice cores: (19) Origin of petroleum; (20) New analyT ical techniques in geochemistry; (21) The lead geochemical cycle and human interiero ence; (22) Paleothermometry (high and low temperatures): (23) Exploration geochemistry of uranium; and ( 24 ) Chemical balance of the oceans. The congress will take place in the heart of Paris, in the buildings of the universities of Paris VI and Paris VII. Participants will be lodged in hotels within walking distance of the meeting, or in student dormitories. The general admission fee is FFr.900, for EAG members FFr. 600, for students FFr.500 and EAG student members FFr. 300. The abstract fee is FFr. 100 per abstract. Graduate students may apply for grants, which will cover part of their travel and lodging expense,s. The deadline for the submission of abstracts is May 1, 1988. The congress is organized by a local program committee consisting of': C.J. Allegre (president), M. Bernat, J.L. Birck, Y. Bottinga (vice-president), H. Bougault, M. B u a t Menard, N. Clauer, B.
