2025: Goldschmidt 2025 Prague, Czech Republic, 6-11 July 2025
The IUGS Commission on ‘Global Geochemical Baselines’ is organising a session called Multi-scale Geochemical Mapping for Mineral Resource Management
Geochemical mapping is an essential tool in any study concerning Earth’s surface, regardless of scale. In an era where mineral raw materials play a critical role in the energy transition towards a greener society, regional geochemical mapping is particularly valuable to reveal metallogenic provinces with high ore potential. At more local mapping scales, geochemical studies can be directed towards identifying the provenance of certain elements or groups of elements. These local-scale geochemical surveys provide greater detail, offering insights that can be crucial for understanding the primary and secondary distribution and behaviour of elements, including mine tailings, which are becoming a valuable potential resource. The flexibility and applicability of geochemical mapping across various scales and disciplines underscores its indispensable role in mineral resource management. This session invites contributions on all aspects of mineral resource management including secondary resources. More details are posted on the Conferences/Webinars web page.
2025: Pre-conference workshop, 2-5 July 2025
Global to Regional and Local Scale Geochemical Mapping based on the methods described in the "International Union of Geological Sciences Manual of Standard Methods for Establishing the Global Geochemical Reference Network"
Global to regional and local scale geochemical mapping is based on the methods described in the International Union of Geological Sciences Manual of Standard Methods for Establishing the Global Geochemical Reference Network. This is one of a series of workshops organised by the Commission on Global Geochemical Baselines of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) for promoting the harmonised mapping of the geochemistry of the Earth's surface for the development of internally consistent databases for rock, soil, stream water, stream sediment, overbank and floodplain sediments. Previous workshops have been held in Canada, China, Hellenic Republic, Iran, Tanzania, South Africa and South Korea. More details are posted on the Conferences/Webinars web page.
