Many geoscientists associate the name Goldschmidt as one of the premier conferences in the field of geochemistry - just follow the associated hashtags on Twitter and you'll see how this field shapes our understanding of the world. Little know the man behind the name.
The Ecological Marine Unit Explorer is an interactive program which uses physical and chemical patterns in the ocean to generate ecological zones, which are the marine equivalents of deserts, rainforests and tundras. It has three components: an interactive map, a depth profile tool and a numerical table.

The International Society for Environmental Biogeochemistry’s 23rd Symposium (ISEB23) will take place in Australia for the first time in 2017. The Symposium will be held September 24-29, 2017, in Palm Cove, Tropical North Queensland, Australia. This international five-day Symposium, held in Palm Cove, will provide an excellent opportunity for international and local environmental biogeochemists to meet and discuss the most recent developments in their fields of research.
The Geological Society of London's (GSL) journal published a new study looking at the origin of the bluestones of Stonehenge using U-Pb zircon dating. The GSL blog outlines some of the early findings of this study, seeking to determining if the bluestones were carried to Stonehenge, or if the rocks were transported there as glacial erratics.
