of Studies to Emphasize the Application of

Isotope Geochemistry and Mineralogy to

Earth Processes

In commemoration of the breadth of research

led by Kurt Kyser, which focused on the

application of isotope geochemistry and

mineralogy to Earth systems, we would like to

invite colleagues, and particularly former

students and post-doctoral fellows, to submit an

abstract on any aspect of research that was

ignited by work under Kurt's mentorship.
