of Studies to Emphasize the Application of
Isotope Geochemistry and Mineralogy to
Earth Processes
In commemoration of the breadth of research
led by Kurt Kyser, which focused on the
application of isotope geochemistry and
mineralogy to Earth systems, we would like to
invite colleagues, and particularly former
students and post-doctoral fellows, to submit an
abstract on any aspect of research that was
ignited by work under Kurt's mentorship.
