Congresso de geoquímica dos países de língua portuguesa

Abstract

The 16th Congress of Geochemistry of Portuguese-speaking Countries (XVI CGPLP) will be held at the University of Aveiro from July 28 to August 2, 2024. This event is organized by the Department of Geosciences of the University of Aveiro, the Geochemistry Group of the Geological Society of Portugal, and the Brazilian Society of Geochemistry, with the support of the GeoBioTec Research Unit - Geobiosciences, Geotechnologies, and Geoengineering. With the theme "Contributions of Geochemistry for a Sustainable Future," the congress highlights the role of Geochemistry in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, promoting interdisciplinarity and encompassing all areas of scientific knowledge. The congress brings together scientists from Portuguese-speaking countries to promote scientific exchange among geochemistry professionals. Researchers from Portugal, Brazil, Mozambique, Angola, the USA, Morocco, and Algeria will participate in this event. The activities of the XVI CGPLP include 6 plenary conferences scientific sessions with presentations of communications and posters, workshops, and field trips, in addition to a sociocultural program. The scientific program is organized into the following thematic areas: T1: Geochemistry of magmatic, metamorphic, sedimentary, and hydrothermal processes; T2: Mineral and energy resources and innovative applications for a sustainable future; T3: Geochemistry: society, environment, and health; T4: (Bio)geochemical processes and cycles in the terrestrial critical zone; T5: Geochemical processes in the oceans, atmosphere, and climate change; T6: Analytical, geostatistical, and geochronological methods. Aveiro, known as the “Venice of Portugal,” is this year the Portuguese Capital of Culture. Under the motto “The year as a stage. An infinite scenery,” Aveiro 2024 aims to affirm the city as a cultural and artistic center, offering an intense schedule of activities that will also enrich the congress program.
