Dear colleagues, applications for an official invitation to the Russian Consulate for visa are accepted until May 22 by e-mail symposium.spboe@gmail.com

Within the symposium it is supposed to consider on interactions between biogenic and abiogenic components in a lithosphere, biosphere and technospere.
 

Topics to be covered:

• Methods for studying the interactions between biogenic and abiogenic components

  Convener: M. Ploetze (ETH Zurich, Switzerland)

  The session is focused on methods applied to characterization of hard rocks from natural landscapes, stone monuments, and buildings to investigate e.g. rock mineralogy, porosity, and sensitivity to weathering and deterioration due to the influence of pollution and climate. Contributions are invited covering, but not limited to applications of microscopical (e.g. optical and electron microscopy, scanning atomic-force microscopy) and spectroscopical techniques (e.g. infrared and cathodoluminescence) as well as X-ray diffractometry and methods for porosity determination (e.g. intrusion and gas adsorption). Additionally, the session is devoted to methods used for study of the rock-biota-interaction in the preliminary biofilms and crypto endolithic environment and on the first stages of rock colonization by biota, especially by moss, lichens, and microorganisms.

• Geochemistry  of biogenic-abiogenic systems;
• Biomineralization in geosystems;
• Mineral formation in living organisms and biomimetic materials;
• Medical geology;
• Organic mineralogy;
• Biomineral interactions in soil;
• The role of living organisms in the destruction of cultural heritage.
