This year the meeting is co-chaired by Dr. Lynda Soderholm (Argonne National Laboratory) and Professor Sue Clark (Washington State University). The Chemical Sciences, Geosciences and Biosciences Division of the Office of Basic Energy Sciences and its predecessors have sponsored research in heavy element chemistry and separations sciences for some sixty years. Although these are distinct disciplines, they have much in common for many reasons, in particular because novel separations research is needed to produce pure heavy-element samples and because heavy element chemistry provides the basis for many separations processes. In addition, separation processes are major industrial sources of energy consumption and waste generation. This is the fifth joint meeting of these programs. The objective of this meeting is to provide a fruitful environment in which researchers with common interests will present and exchange information about their activities, will build collaborations among research groups with mutually reinforcing strengths, will identify needs of the research community, and will focus on opportunities for future research directions. The agenda includes invited talks, oral presentations, as well as invited and regular posters, organized so that papers in related disciplines are loosely clustered together. Invited presentations this year include oral and poster presentations representing an Energy Frontier Research Center and related programs in DOE Office of Nuclear Energy. With ample time for discussion and interactions, we emphasize that this is an informal meeting for exchange of information and building of collaborations; it is not a review of researchers’ achievements or a forum to choose future directions. We are pleased to collaborate with Lynda Soderholm and Sue Clark in organizing this joint meeting and appreciate their service to this community. We also appreciate the privilege of serving as the managers of our respective research programs. In carrying out these tasks, we learn from the achievements and share the excitement of the research of the many sponsored scientists and students whose names appear on the papers in the following pages. We also hope that this meeting will enhance your research efforts and will nurture future collaborations and initiatives. We thank all of the researchers whose dedication and innovation have advanced our research and made this meeting possible and, we hope, productive. We also hope that all of you will build on your successes and that we will assemble in two years for our next joint meeting. We thank Diane Marceau of the Chemical Sciences, Geosciences and Biosciences Division, and Tim Ledford and Connie Lansdon of the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education for their important contributions to the technical and logistical features of this meeting.
