ELEMENTS 132 APRIL 2017 BEGINNINGS The Geochemical Society’s founder, Frederick Earl Ingerson (1906– Ten years later, he helped establish the International Association of 1993), was a seminal figure in geochemistry. He is remembered today Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry (now the International Association by the Ingerson Lectures, delivered at the Goldschmidt Conference as of GeoChemistry, or IAGC) again serving as its first president and a means of honoring his significant and enduring contributions to the guiding it through its formative years.

The geological carbon cycle describes the inputs to this exosphere from mantle degassing, metamorphism of subducted carbonates and outputs from weathering of aluminosilicate rocks (Walker et al. 1981). A feedback mechanism relates the weathering rate with the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere via the greenhouse effect (e.g., Wang et al. 1976). An increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations induces higher temperatures, leading to higher rates of weathering, which draw down atmospheric CO2 concentrations (Ber- ner 1991). Atmospheric CO2 concentrations are therefore stabilized over long timescales by this feedback mechanism (Zeebe and Caldeira 2008). This process may have played a role (Feulner et al. 2012) in stabilizing temperatures on Earth while solar radiation steadily increased due to stellar evolution (Bahcall et al. 2001). In this context the role of CO2 degassing from the Earth is clearly fundamental to the stability of the climate, and therefore to life on Earth.

  • My Main Research Interests Centre on the Science Behind Volcanoes and Volcanic Behaviour
    PROF. TAMSIN A. MATHER Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3AN, UK. Tel.: +44 (0)1865 282125 [email protected] My main research interests centre on the science behind volcanoes and volcanic behaviour. My motivation is to understand volcanoes as (a) natural hazards, (b) a key planetary scale process throughout geological time, playing a key role in change but vital for maintaining habitability and (c) natural resources (e.g., geothermal power and the development of ore deposits). I use techniques including satellite Earth Observation, remote and direct measurements of volcanic gas/aerosol, field mapping and petrological and geochemical analysis. I have also studied the emissions from an oil depot fire (Buncefield 2005) and am generally interested in the global mercury cycle as well as other biogeochemical cycles.

Welcome to Oxford, and to St Anne’s College. St Anne’s is not a typical Oxbridge college: it was formed as the Society for Home Students in 1879, to provide educational opportunities for women who would not otherwise be able to afford to come to Oxford. It became a full college in 1952, was one of the first Oxford colleges to go co-educational in 1979, and now has one of the largest and most diverse undergraduate intakes in Oxford. Famous alumnae include Edwina Currie, Penelope Lively and Helen Fielding, and the current Principal is Tim Gardam, formerly Director of Programmes at Channel 4. Orientation. The whole meeting is accommodated on site, though pressure of numbers has meant that the poster and lecture sessions are in different buildings. Talks are all in the Mary Ogilvie Lecture Theatre (Room C on the Map); Posters and the drinks reception are in Seminar Rooms 7 and 8 (lower ground floor of the new building, near O); breakfast (for those staying in college), lunches and the conference dinner are all in the dining room (Room B on the Map). On the first evening, the college bar (Room P) is open for refreshments; there is also a good selection of pubs and restaurants across the Woodstock Road, and towards Jericho and the city centre (for example, at the end of Plantation Road, and on Walton Street).
