This Site is Closed.   Each participant is encouraged to submit papers on any topic of mineralogical, petrological, or geochemical interest for oral or poster presentation.   Most oral sessions will include both invited and contributed papers. The selection of papers to be presented orally will be made by the conveners of the sessions, who will, however, take authors' preferences into consideration.   Oral and poster sessions will carry equal weight regarding quality of contribution and will appear in the Abstract volume in identical format.   Instructions for Abstract Submission Abstracts should be submitted according to the following guidelines. Abstracts will only be accepted from participants who have paid Advance Registration Fees. Each registered participant may submit abstracts for oral or poster presentation, but can be the first author of only one of the submitted abstracts. Each invited or keynote speaker may submit an additional abstract for oral or poster presentation as the first author. When the abstract is submitted, your preferred method (oral or poster) and preferred session for presentation must be indicated. Acceptance of the abstract, the method of presentation, and the session for presentation will be decided by the organizing committee. When the organizing committee has accepted an abstract, an acceptance letter will be sent to the communicating author by either post or as an e-mail attachment.
