Symposia

ISEB 2019

The 24th International Symposium on Environmental Biogeochemistry (ISEB24) took place in September 2019 in Potsdam, Germany, on the Telegrafenberg campus of GFZ Potsdam. This facility has a long history in Earth Sciences, which dates back to 1870. The city of Potsdam is famous for landscape gardens, architectural masterpieces and palaces, and waterscapes. 

ISEB 2017

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.

Short Courses, Workshops, Research Colloquia

Microbe-Mineral Interactions

The 2012 short course on Microbe-Mineral Interactions: Molecular to Global Scale Processes was held along the Riviera Maya in Mexico.  There were over 75 participants from 14 countries in attendance.

 

Interfacial Phenomena Short Course and Research Colloquium

The 2014 ISEB short course and research colloquium on Interfacial Phenomena in Environmental Biogeochemistry concluded recently (November 16 to 21, 2014) at the Moon Palace Resort, Cancun, Mexico.  Sessions considered the fundamental chemistry, methods of investigation, and biogeochemical significance of interfacial processes in the global environment.  Research colloquium sessions showcaseed the interdisciplinary research activities among short course attendees.

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 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
