Instructions

  • How to submit
    Abstracts may only be submitted online via this page (not emailed or posted). It is possible to submit an abstract on behalf of someone else.
  • Presenting author
    Each author may be the presenting author of only one standard abstract submitted to Themes 1 to 13.
    Exceptions:
    - All authors may present a second abstract in Theme 14: Cross-cutting Theme: Geochemistry for Sustainable Society
    - Keynote and medalist speakers may present a second abstract.
  • Co-authors
    All authors you list on an abstract must have approved the submission. Do not list authors who have not approved the submission.
  • Abstract content
    No template is necessary. Abstract text is limited to 350 words (text and references; not including title, authors or affiliations). Equations and up to two tables or photographs or figures may be added: two files can be uploaded with the abstract text (accepted formats: .png or .jpg). Note: Please avoid transparent backgrounds in uploads (set to white if no color).
  • Abstract fee
    To complete your submission, a non-refundable fee of €100 is due for every abstract except for abstracts submitted to Theme 14 (i.e. abstracts to Theme 14 are free of charge). The abstract submission fee is only payable by credit card.
  • Presenting author registration
    The presenting author of an abstract must register for the conference by 21 May 2025. If payment of the registration fee has not been received by that date, the abstract will be removed from the program and the abstract fee will not be refunded.
