November 8, 2018<\/em><\/p>\n

The LGE puts on a workshop<\/strong> for students ages 10 – 12. In four experiments, students explore how water chemistry<\/strong> changes as water travels from the atmosphere to the hydrophere and to the lithosphere (https:\/\/news.unil.ch\/display\/1541076017884<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Dr. No\u00e9mie Janot<\/strong> visits the LGE!   Noemi is a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire des Environnements continentaux at the University de Lorraine. She gave a great seminar on organo-mineral interactions in the critical zone.<\/p>\n

October 20, 2018<\/em><\/p>\n

Our paper on Pb-Mn(III) but not Zn-Mn(III) exchange in biogenic manganese oxides<\/strong> was just accepted to Chemical Geology<\/em>! Check out the beautiful STEM-EDX images. Congratulations Julia and Imelda.<\/p>\n

September 17 – 19, 2018<\/em><\/p>\n

Jackie and Laetitia head to Unisense’s Microsensor Workshop<\/strong> in Aarhus ( \/????hus\/<\/span>), Denmark.  We’re looking forward to our new micro-profiling system!<\/p>\n
