Meetings

2024 New Mexico Geological Society Annual Spring Meeting — Macey Center, Socorro, NM

April 19, 2024

The Energy Transition in New Mexico
Abstract Deadline: April 5^th

ThermoCon 2024: Hydrothermal geochemistry and critical minerals meeting — Socorro, NM

June 3 - 7, 2024

The aim of this meeting is to bring together fans of thermodynamics, hence the name “ThermoCon”, and form a community across disciplines to advance cutting-edge science on critical minerals and hydrothermal geochemistry. A major goal of this conference is to bring together scientists from different expertise, including but not limited to: Experimental geochemistry/chemistry; thermodynamic/geochemical modeling, databases; reactive mass transport modeling; molecular dynamic simulations; element extraction/separation technologies; theoretical thermodynamics and equations of state; mineralogy, ore deposits, and processes in natural systems.

October 23 - 26, 2024

Call for Papers (submission deadline is February 5, 2024).

The 74^th annual Fall Field conference examines the NEXUS of three major geologic/ physiographic provinces: Colorado Plateau, southern Rocky Mountains and Río Grande rift.
