The Organic Geochemistry GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
The 2024 Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Organic Geochemistry, Navigating the Modern Era of Organic Geochemistry, brings together graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and other early-career scientists to share and discuss new research findings, methodological developments, and innovations in the field ahead of the greater Gordon Research Conference.
As the title suggests, the 2024 GRS will reflect and focus on the increasingly interdisciplinary field that organic geochemistry has become since its advent. The scientific results and ideas highlighted at the GRS will exemplify both foundational research and innovative intersections with disciplines including biogeochemistry, inorganic chemistry, oceanography, paleoclimatology, energy resources, as well as evolutionary biology and -omics. Research will be shared via oral and poster presentations, and we welcome the submission of abstracts that highlight both complete and in-progress thought-provoking, original research.
The oral sessions this year will showcase works that apply organic geochemical techniques to questions concerning the origins and fates of organic matter throughout Earth’s history. This year, the GRS will also feature an oral presentation session dedicated to research which explores extreme environments and informs our understanding of early Earth and extraterrestrial habitability. To end the GRS, we will hold a session dedicated to effectively communicating scientific research to both academic and general audiences.
The 2024 GRS on Organic Geochemistry serves as a forum to connect early-career researchers with their peers in a respectful, welcoming, and inclusive setting. We hope to continue to grow the global and diverse community of organic geochemists for many generations to come.
Due to limited accommodations at this venue, guest housing is very limited. To request family/guest housing please reach out to your Conference Operations Associate.
