SUMMARY:2025 APS/SEES School on CONUSS/PHOENIX
DESCRIPTION:             \n2025 APS/SEES\nCONUSS/PHOENIX SCHOOL\nArgonne National Laboratory\nMay 12-14\, 2025\n  \n\n\n\nNuclear resonant scattering (NRS) methods\, including Synchrotron Mössbauer Spectroscopy (SMS) and Nuclear Resonance Inelastic Spectroscopy (NRISX)\, are practiced at three beamlines at the APS: Sector 3\, 16\, and 30. Users are offered 5 different isotopes to work with: 57Fe\, 83Kr\, 119Sn\, 151Eu\, and 161Dy. The APS-U brought significant enhancements in x-ray beam focusing and bunch purity that benefit high-pressure and microscopy research\, which are quite relevant to Earth\, planetary science\, physics\, chemistry\, and material science communities. There are\, however\, challenges in choosing the right modality\, acquiring reliable data\, and analyzing results. The APS NRS group has adopted two main data evaluation packages since its inception: CONUSS for SMS\, both in the energy and time domains\, and PHOENIX for NRIXS. \nPurpose of the school is to foster a new generation of scientific users by introducing basic concepts and by training students on data interpretation to ultimately demonstrate the scientific reach of nuclear resonant spectroscopy. \nThe Advanced Photon Source\, Argonne National Laboratory\, in collaboration with the National Science Foundation’s Synchrotron Earth and Environmental Science (SEES)\, is organizing an in-person three-day school on CONUSS and PHOENIX. The invited speaker\, Dr. Wolfgang Sturhahn\, author of both programs\, will introduce the software and conduct extensive hands-on training on spectra interpretation. The school is a great opportunity for students and early career scientists to become familiar with SMS and NRIXS. \nThe three-day workshop will be conducted at Argonne National Laboratory. Please note that the Laboratory requires a security check for visitors\, which may take weeks\, particularly for citizens of countries that are considered sensitive countries under DOE regulations. There is no registration fee. Housing at the Argonne Guest House will be provided for up to four nights\, and lunches and dinners will be covered. Participants will be eligible to apply for limited travel support\, subject to availability. The workshop will be limited to 20 students. \nHere is the link to the school AGENDA \n  \n\n\n\n\nEarly REGISTRATION is strongly encouraged\, the deadline is April 15 \n\n\n\n\nAcceptance notifications will be sent by April 16 \n  \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, please contact Barbara Lavina (lavina@uchicago.edu) or Esen E. Alp (eea@anl.gov) \n                                          .

SUMMARY:Abstract Submission Deadline: 2025 SEES-ISRD Joint Meeting
DESCRIPTION:SEES and ISRD invite you to attend our annual meeting to be held jointly at the University of Chicago on August 11-13\, 2025. Keynote speakers will discuss topics in rock and mineral deformation and rheological properties in Earth\, and there will be a poster session with a broad scientific focus. All SEES and ISRD researchers are welcome and encouraged to attend. \nThe deadline for Abstract Submission for the poster presentation session is Thursday\, May 15\, 2025. Click here to submit your abstract. \nSEES (Synchrotron Earth and Environmental Science)\, funded by NSF\, aims to advance research and education in synchrotron-based Earth and environmental science to better understand our planet from the atmosphere to the core\, to address societally relevant problems\, and to train the next generation of scientists. To learn more\, please visit: https://test.seescience.org. \nISRD (In-situ Studies of Rock Deformation)\, also funded by NSF\, facilitates the integration of beamline technologies with deformation experiments and creates new directions for experimental rock reformation research.

SUMMARY:Registration Deadline: Workshop on soft and tender STXM and nanoprobe techniques
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming 1-day workshop at Goldschmidt 2025.\n\nThis one-day workshop will highlight soft and tender X-ray STXM and nanoprobe beamlines supported by SEES at ALS and SSRL:\n\nALS 5.3.2.2: Soft X-ray scanning transmission X-ray microscopy\nALS 7.0.1.2: Coherent Scattering and Microscopy (COSMIC)imaging\nALS 11.0.2.2: Molecular Environmental Science Scanning Transmission\nSSRL 14-3b: Tender X-ray microprobe\n\n\nWhat you will learn\n\nDetection capabilities and applications of STXM\, ptychography\, and nanoprobe techniques for Earth and environmental sample\nPractical workflow for beamline experiments (proposal preparation\, sample preparation\, data acquisition\, and analysis strategies)\nCase studies demonstrating multi-modal analysis\n\n\n\nThis workshop will provide practical guidance for new users interested in X-ray microscopic and spectroscopic instruments as well as suggest various pathways and advanced methodologies for experienced users. \nThe registration deadline is May 21\, 2025. \n\nSoft and tender X-ray imaging and spectroscopic analysis of Earth and environmental samples | 1-DAY WORKSHOPSunday\, July 6 2025 | 1:30-10:00\n\nSynchrotron-based X-ray spectroscopic and microscopic techniques offer capabilities to investigate micro- and nano-scale geochemical processes in Earth surface systems. Up to now\, the low-temperature geochemical community has largely accessed hard X-ray instruments to study the reactivity and transport of geogenic and anthropogenic contaminants such as arsenic\, uranium\, and mercury. Understanding how these contaminants link to light elements (e.g.\, carbon\, nitrogen\, and sulfur) and other key environmental reactions (e.g.\, biogeochemical nutrient cycling\, carbon sequestration\, and (bio)mineralization) requires the use of soft and tender X-ray techniques. \nIn this workshop\, we will introduce an exciting new suite of programs where participants can increase their access to soft and tender X-ray techniques for geochemical research. The “Synergy of Soft and Tender X-rays for Earth Research” (SYSTER) program at the Advanced Light Source (ALS; Berkeley\, CA\, USA) and the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL; Menlo Park\, CA\, USA)\, subcomponents of the US National Science Foundation-awarded “Synchrotron Earth and Environmental Science” (SEES) program\, aims to provide Earth and Environmental Science (EES) synchrotron users with access to soft and tender X-ray beamline\, while also developing new end-stations to promote EES research. This workshop is for new and current synchrotron users interested in increasing their skill sets. \nIn this one-day workshop\, we will focus on X-ray micro- and nano-probe beamlines with SEES support at ALS and SSRL: (1) ALS 5.3.2.2 (soft X-ray optimized STXM)\, (2) ALS COSMIC 7.0.1.2 (soft to tender X-rays with high spatial resolution by ptychography)\, (3) ALS 11.0.2.2 (soft to tender X-ray STXM with capability of characterizing magnetic properties)\, and (4) SSRL Beamline 14-3b (tender X-ray microprobe). The soft X-ray beamlines offer an energy range of 0.2 – 0.8 keV which enables the study of elemental composition and speciation of relatively light elements such as carbon\, nitrogen\, oxygen\, and potassium which are essential elements for life. The tender X-ray beamlines provide an energy range of up to 5 keV\, enabling the analysis of a wide range of major elements\, trace metal nutrients\, and heavy metal contaminants.We will discuss the feasible elements to detect and the applications of image analysis and ptychography for Earth and environmental samples. We will also deliver a practical workflow for beamline experiments\, including proposal preparation\, sample preparation (e.g.\, controlling thickness and concentration)\, general operation\, and data analysis strategies. We will highlight examples of imaging and spectroscopic analysis of natural samples using multiple detection modes (multimodal analysis) and multiple instruments (correlative analysis). For example\, we will share how to characterize metal-organic species from soils and marine environments using ALS nanoprobes. We will also include a tutorial on how to prepare multimodal samples and process the data to enhance compatibility between different beamlines. Combining different radiation sources and techniques at different beamlines is crucial for investigating geochemical processes involving interactions between organic compounds and transition metals\, such as organo-mineral interaction\,  and biomineralization. This workshop will provide key information for new users on the use of X-ray microscopic and spectroscopic instruments and suggest various pathways for sample characterization to experienced users in the field of environmental geochemistry. \nWe look forward to your participation!
