Trial Issues as a free, downloadable PDF of
the
print
magazine.
Spackman Award Applications
By Suzanne Russell
By shifting to a PDF version of the
magazine for trial review, Geotimes is now
even more accessible to individuals throughout
the world while at the same time conserving
paper and other natural resources. Formatted
for screen viewing, the PDF version is nearly
identical to the regular print issue, with all of
the in-depth coverage of the latest news on
Earth,
energy,
and
the
environment.
Three applications have been received for
the 2007 Spackman Award, TSOP's graduate
student research grant(s) of $1000 US. The
applicants are from universities in Australia,
Columbia and the USA. This is the lowest
number of applications we have received in
many years and contrasts with the seven
applications received in 2006. The applications
are now with the panel of three reviewers and
the Spackman Award winner(s) will be
announced to the membership at the annual
meeting in Victoria.
To download a free trial copy of Geotimes
magazine, go to the Geotimes website www.geotimes.org - and click on Trial Issue.
Geotimes is the popular voice of the earth
sciences. Each month, the magazine offers
clear and engaging articles about the earth,
energy and the environment—topics for
readers interested in understanding the
science of the planet and its impact on society.
The applicants' universities and research
topics are listed below.

The American Geological Institute is a
nonprofit federation of 44 geoscientific and
professional associations that represents more
than 120,000 geologists, geophysicists and
other earth scientists. Founded in 1948, AGI
provides information services to geoscientists,
serves as a voice of shared interests in the
profession, plays a major role in strengthening
geoscience education, and strives to increase
public awareness of the vital role the
geosciences play in society's use of resources
and interaction with the environment.

TSOP People
(TSOP Members are encouraged to send in articles
detailing current research interests.)
Dr Bettina Boucsein
The
"Directory
of
Geoscience
Departments", 45th Ed., provides a listing of
2,022 geoscience departments, research
departments and institutes plus listings of their
faculty and staff. The leadership of the major
geoscience professional and scientific societies
in the United States is included in this edition of
the DGD along with information on non-U.S.
departments in 45 countries. For the second
year in a row, the directory includes a statistics
section derived from the data used to compile
this publication. This section gives data on
geoscience student enrollments and degrees
granted, faculty demographics, field camps and
average
annual
salaries.
Since my Masters’ thesis at Justus Liebig
University in Gießen (Germany) in 1996, I have
been involved in studies of sedimentary
organic matter by means of organic
petrographic analysis (maceral analysis,
vitrinite reflectance). During my PhD (1996 2000) at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar
and Marine Research (AWI) in Bremerhaven
(Germany), I studied the organic carbon
composition of marine sediments (surface
sediments and sediment cores) from the
Laptev and Kara seas (Eastern Arctic Ocean)
and the adjacent continental margins. The
overall goal of this study was to determine the
organic matter sources (terrigenous vs.
marine) by means of maceral analysis and
organic geochemical parameters for a
reconstruction of the paleoclimatic and
paleoceanographic changes during the past
15,000 years.
In addition to the information about
geoscience departments, and faculty, the DGD
includes listings of U.S. state geological
surveys, professional and scientific geoscience
societies, and faculty contact information.
Other valuable features include highlighted
departments that are also listed in AGI's
comprehensive Online Guide to Geoscience
Departments; and an expanded listing of
federal agencies that employ or are of interest
to
geoscientists.
After a parental leave for my two daughters,
I came back to science in March 2005 with a
research grant from the German Helmholtz
Foundation. At the research unit of the AWI in
Potsdam, I continued studies on surface
samples from the Eastern Arctic Shelves and
the Central Arctic Ocean. Since October 2005 I
have been working with the German Science
Foundation (DFG) Integrated Ocean Drilling
Program (IODP). My contribution is aimed at
the quantification and identification of the
organic matter and its variation through
Cenozoic times in sediments from IODP
drillhole 302 from the Lomonosov Ridge,
Central Arctic Ocean. Organic petrological
analyses are used for the reconstruction of the
paleoenvironmental
and
paleoclimatic
conditions, which control the accumulation of
the organic matter. Studies on late
Cretaceous/Cenozoic sediments allow for the

further development of maceral analysis on
sediments from different depositional settings
for the purpose of paleoenvironmental
reconstruction will be of major interest in my
future work.

decreasing reserves of both have created a
heightened interest in the use of coal within the
United States. However, to maintain this
growth, the industry must be responsive to
increasing
pressures
on
environmental
emissions and global warming as well as
improve its public image.
IMOG 2007
Sunday 9th - Friday 14th September 2007
Torquay, Devon, United Kingdom
The 23rd International Meeting on Organic
Geochemistry will be held on 9th -14th
September 2007 in Torquay, Devon, United
Kingdom. IMOG is the official biennial
conference of the European Association of
Organic
Geochemists,
and
welcomes
delegates from all over the world. Over the
years, the IMOG meetings have deservedly
acquired a reputation for providing a platform
for oral and poster presentations covering the
full range of research in, and application of,
organic
geochemistry.
http://www.imog2007.org/index.htm
Research topics to be presented include
the latest advances within the following broad
areas: Petroleum and Coal Geochemistry,
Petroleum Source Rocks, Generation and
migration of Petroleum, Biodegradation, Gas
geochemistry, Peat and coal geochemistry,
Biogeochemistry,
Microbial
processes,
Biomarkers, Carbon cycling, Climate change,
Environmental Geochemistry, Environment and
pollution, Geochemistry of soils, Archaeological
geochemistry, New Trends in Organic
Geochemistry and Analytical developments.
The Twenty-Fourth Annual International
Pittsburgh Coal Conference focuses on
environmental
emissions
issues
and
technologies surrounding the continued use of
coal and the development of future coal-based
energy plants to achieve near-zero emissions
of pollutants, reduced costs, and high thermal
efficiency while producing a suite of products to
meet future energy market requirements.

Throughout the world, coal is a major
energy source, providing nearly 25% of the
world’s primary energy consumption. Although
coal’s share of total energy use was previously
expected to decline in the future, the recent
high cost of natural gas and petroleum together
with projected increasing demand and
