GEMOC communications 2001


2001 WEB ADDITIONS included detailed methods for new analytical advances and software updates (GLITTER) and items for secondary school resources on the lithosphere.  In addition, undergraduate teaching is web-based.

A highlight of GEMOC communications was the award to Professor Bruce Chappell for being in the top 10 ISI citationists in Australia over the last 10 years.

Participation in Workshops and Conferences in 2001

2001 was another year of national and international highlights for GEMOC presentations with showcasing of many of our postgraduate research results in posters and oral presentations.  Over 40 conference presentations were made; 13 papers were invited and 5 were Keynote presentations.

The recognition of GEMOC's expertise in linking the micron with the global is evidenced by the Keynote and invited talks at the 2001 Goldschmidt Conference in the session on the "Mineralogy, Geochemistry and Geodynamics of Planetary Interiors" (the "global") and the co-convening of the session "Trace element fingerprinting: laboratory studies and petrogenetic processes" (the "micron") by Sue O'Reilly for the 2002 Goldschmidt Conference.

Abstract titles for Conferences and Workshops attended are listed in Appendix 4   and full texts are available on the GEMOC website.

The August AMIRA meeting for project P515 (see Industry project section) was held at Macquarie as activity in this project is now focussed through Macquarie.
