T23

Geochemistry of Arsenic and Other Toxic Elements and Assessment of Environmental Risks in Global Groundwater Systems

Sponsors: GSA Hydrogeology Division; GSA International Division; GSA Geology and Health Division; GSA Geology and Society Division; Geochemical Society; International Society of Groundwater for Sustainable Development (ISGSD)
Chairs: Prosun Bhattacharya, Alan E. Fryar, Abhijit Mukherjee
Theme: Groundwater environments are contaminated by geogenic arsenic and other toxic elements across the world. This interdisciplinary session serves as a platform for scientific exchange leading to improved understanding of the dynamics of arsenic and other toxic elements.
KeyWords: Hydrogeology; Geology and Health; Geomicrobiology
T41

High-Resolution Terrestrial and Marine Geochemical Proxies of Global Change: Progress, Problems, and Utility

Sponsors: Paleontological Society; Geochemical Society; GSA Geobiology and Geomicrobiology Division
Chairs: David P. Gillikin, Alan D. Wanamaker
Theme: High-resolution geochemical proxies provide records of past climate, weather, and environments. We encourage papers presenting geochemical records of global change, including calibration/validation studies, in biologic carbonates, speleothems, or tree-rings from terrestrial or marine environments.
KeyWords: Paleoclimatology/Paleoceanography; Geochemistry; Paleontology, Paleoecology/Taphonomy
