ISEB 24 September 22 to 27 2019
GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, Helmholtz Centre, Postdam, Germany
Like previous meetings, ISEB 24 will bring together scientists from all over the world to discuss recent developments and discoveries from all aspects of Environmental Biogeochemistry. The meeting will be in a single session format, so all participants have the chance to see all oral presentations. Daily poster sessions provide sufficient time for discussions among the participants.
The Telegrafenberg campus of GFZ Potsdam has long history in Earth Sciences and dates back to 1870. Since then this place has been at the forefront in many different disciplines, ranging from Geodesy, over Astronomy and Geophysics to Global Change and Energy related topics.
The city of Potsdam is known all over the world for its long history. The past 300 years have seen the transformation of Potsdam from a garrison town to one of Europe’s most imposing royal capitals. Potsdam’s architectural masterpieces, the 17 palaces that are surrounded by an abundance of landscape gardens lining the banks of the beautiful Havel waterscape have considerably determined Potsdam’s World Cultural Heritage status.
There are many hotels in all price ranges in town, the GFZ Campus is centrally located, about a 10 minute walk from the central station. Potsdam is located about 30 km southwest of Berlin, the German capital. Being a major tourist destination itself, there are direct flights to most European airports and a good connection to the German train network.
Looking forward to seeing you all in Potsdam, and please stay tuned for more information via http://www.iseb2019.org

A Graduate Student's Introduction to the International Biogeochemistry Scene

The 23rd International Symposium on Environmental Biogeochemistry (ISEB), which converged on tropical Palm Cove, Cairns, Australia in September 2017, was a great success. The symposium series has been in existence for nearly 50 years, occurring every two years and bringing together the best minds in the environmental sciences from around the world.
ISEB 23 in Australia – an organiser’s perspective

After two years of planning, the 23rd International Symposium on Environmental Biogeochemistry (ISEB23) took place in September 2017 at Palm Cove in far north Queensland, Australia. The location, which is a perfect showcase of tropical Australia with the Great Barrier Reef and rainforests being within easy reach, is an obvious attraction for any environmental scientist.
The organisers felt a strong responsibility to observe the tried and tested meeting traditions developed over 40 years that define an ISEB symposium. These included a four day single session program with a day in the middle for organised field trips and a comprehensive social program that is designed to maximise networking between delegates. The Symposium attendance was deliberately kept small (around 100 delegates) as we wanted to offer an alternative to the large, impersonal mega-conferences where attendees often find it difficult to engage with fellow scientists and make new contacts. The ISEB meeting format has always encouraged networking and informal dialogue between delegates.
