The Geochemistry Special Interest Group (GSIG) is open to all GSNZ members interested in geochemical processes. We aim to address a broad range of topics including environmental, isotope and trace element geochemistry, geochronology, thermochronology, and biogeochemistry. This group may also be of interest to those working in related research fields where geochemistry plays an important role, such as in sedimentology, (chemical) stratigraphy, basin analysis, petrology, volcanology, geothermal and economic geology.
The primary goals of this group are to provide a network for New Zealand based geochemists and share relevant geoscience news, updates, events, and opportunities to members. We welcome GSNZ members from all career stages as well as geochemistry enthusiasts from the public.
We further aim to promote and support students and young scientists in geochemistry. The Werner F Giggenbach Prize for Geochemistry is awarded to a young New Zealand-based geochemist, who is the first author of the most outstanding publication in the field of geochemistry for the calendar year preceding the current one. See the Awards section for more information.
GSIG members will be emailed about upcoming events. Group members are encouraged to reach by email out to share relevant and recent research, and news about geoscience events and opportunities.
