Send award nomination packages to ssrl-user-office@slac.stanford.edu. Recipients of the Spicer and SSRL awards will be asked to present their research during the plenary session of the joint SSRL/LCLS Users’ Meeting. \nWilliam E. and Diane M. Spicer Young Investigator Award – DEADLINE to submit Nominations EXTENDED to July 15:  The $1\,000 Spicer Young Investigator Award honors the professional and personal contributions that William E. and Diane M. Spicer made to our community. Submit nomination packages including a letter summarizing the scientific contributions of the candidate as well as their CV and publications (supporting letters also encouraged). \nSSRL Scientific Development Award – Submit Nominations by August 1:  SSRL will provide $1\,000 for an award to recognize outstanding new investigatorsand to promote dissemination of results based on work performed at SSRL. Undergraduate or graduate students\, or postdoctoral fellows within three years of receiving their Ph.D.\, can be nominated. The nomination package should include the candidate’s CV\, letters of recommendation from the advisor and colleagues\, as well as an abstract written by the candidate describing the SSRL-related experiments\, scientific results\, and plans to present the findings. \nFarrel W. Lytle Award – Submit Nominations by August 5:  The $1\,000 Lytle Award was established to promote technical or scientific accomplishments in synchrotron radiation-based science and to foster collaboration and efficient use of beam time at SSRL. SSRL users and staff are eligible to be nominated for the Lytle Award. Letters of nominations should include a summary of the individual’s contributions and why they should be recognized through this award. Supporting letters are welcome.

SUMMARY:GSA Connects 2024 Conference
DESCRIPTION:A  Highlight at GSA will be session T113: Synchrotron X-ray and Neutron Applications in Earth and Environmental Science. \nThe GSA Connects 2024 conference is being held in Anaheim\, California from September 22—25\, 2024. The abstract submission portal is now open at https://community.geosociety.org/gsa2024/home and abstracts are due by June 18\, 2024. \nWe encourage a broad range of submissions sharing results\, perspectives\, and advances in the use of synchrotron X-rays and neutrons to probe questions in Earth and environmental science. Confirmed invited speakers are: \nBryan Chakoumakous\, Oak Ridge National Laboratory\nBrandy Toner\, University of Minnesota \nRegister at : https://community.geosociety.org/gsa2024/registration \nWe hope to see you in Anaheim!\nSi Athena Chen\, Oak Ridge National Laboratory\nCara Santelli\, University of Minnesota\nJoanne Stubbs\, The University of Chicago \nSynchrotron X-ray and Neutron Applications in Earth and Environmental Science\nX-ray and neutron techniques complement each other in exploring the intrinsic properties of minerals and materials. The high-penetrating power of synchrotron X-rays and neutrons\, combined with recent advancements in instrumentation and computational approaches\, have revolutionized many scientific disciplines\, including mineralogy\, (bio)geochemistry\, petrology\, soil science\, sedimentology\, oceanography\, cosmochemistry\, and ore deposits\, etc. \nSynchrotron facilities provide a diverse array of X-ray instruments\, each with unique capabilities such as high temporal and spatial resolution\, flexible sample environments\, low detection limits\, coherence\, and a multitude of 2/3D imaging options. The advancement in synchrotron X-ray technology has propelled Earth science research in various aspects\, ranging from low to high-temperature/pressure crystallography\, in-operando studies of mineral-water reaction and nanoparticle formation\, and 3D imaging of trace elements\, among other applications. \nNeutron scattering offers additional numerous advantages and is instrumental in investigating various mineral properties. These include the study of lattice dynamics of minerals and molecular systems\, hydroxyl bonding environments in minerals\, in-situ studies of structure under extreme conditions\, diffusive processes in solids\, mimicking reactions at surfaces and in interiors of planetary bodies\, examining the nature of porous materials\, imaging with elemental and isotopic contrast\, as well as magnetic phase transitions. \nThis session welcomes contributions from researchers that have used synchrotron X-ray and neutron scattering in their studies. We aim to explore a broad spectrum of their applications in advancing geosciences and related fields. We also welcome submissions detailing current or planned synchrotron/neutron beamline capabilities that contribute to advancements in geoscience research. \nThis session is co-sponsored by:\nMineralogical Society of America (MSA)\nMineralogy\, Geochemistry\, Petrology & Volcanology Division (MGPV)\nEnergy Geology Division (EGD)\nSedimentary Geology Division (SGD)\nSoils and Soil Processes Division (SSPD)
