Invitation
International Workshop on Noble Gas Geochemistry invites all researchers world-wide to Chengdu, China, in 2015 to participate in the seminar, which is organized by the Lanzhou Center for Oil and Gas Resources, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Beijing Office.
Noble gas isotopes have important theoretical significance and broad application. They can be used for geochemical exploration and earth evolution history, involving many fields of geological and geochemical studies. Radiogenic noble gases represent the source rock characteristics of radioactive elements uranium, thorium and potassium. And, they can also be used for exploring the migration of crustal gases and their enrichment processes. Noble gases are one of the important geochemical fingerprints used to identify natural gas genetic types. At the same time, as a kind of geological structure index, they can also be applied to studying the characteristics of geological tectonic belts, as well as for exploring the relationship between seismic and tectonic activity. In addition, noble gas studies can be used as an important means of earthquake prediction. Noble gases are also plays an important role in studying hydrology, geothermal energy and other mineral resources.
Two internationally distinguished scientists, Prof. Yuji Sano and Prof. David R. Hilton, will be the keynote speakers for the seminar. Both Sano and Hilton are famous specialists working on noble gas geochemistry. They will give us masterly speeches about applications of helium to the solid earth, ocean, atmosphere and faults, earthquakes. We cordially invite all participants who are interested in noble gas geochemistry.
