A big thanks to everyone who joined us for SES-2025! You made it awesome! We are planning to hold SES conference every two years again and have several bids to 'get the band back together'; discussions are ongoing for... SES-IX in 2027 (SSRL/ALS) SES-X in 2029 (APS-eBERlite) SES-XI in 2031 (CLS) Stayed tuned for more awesome.

Hi folks, Last day to register for SES-2025! Sooo much cool "Critical Zone" science spanning critical minerals and rare earth elements (REEs) to natural organic matter and Carbon (C) storage to nutrient (eg P, S, Fe) and contaminant (eg Hg, Pb) fluxes to redox biogeochemistry in dynamic environments (eg wetlands and coastal soils). Be sure to check out the PROGRAM for speakers: https://urldefense.us/v3/__http://www.bnl.gov/ses-symposium/files/pdf/progra... <https://urldefense.us/v3/__http://www.bnl.gov/ses-symposium/files/pdf/progra... > Poster and Talk abstracts are linked here: https://urldefense.us/v3/__http://www.bnl.gov/ses-symposium/__;!!G_uCfscf7eW... <https://urldefense.us/v3/__http://www.bnl.gov/ses-symposium/bios/__;!!G_uCfs... >bios<https://urldefense.us/v3/__http://www.bnl.gov/ses-symposium/bios/__;!!G_uCfs... >/<https://urldefense.us/v3/__http://www.bnl.gov/ses-symposium/bios/__;!!G_uCfs... > Get ready to play hard! ________________________________ Subject: SES-2025 update! Hey folks, Unbelievable response to the call for SES abstracts! We have a killer lineup of speakers for you (agenda under construction now). And an equally impressive lineup of poster presentations (no space left). In response to below, someone jokingly asked us to define "vibrant". I will provide a more PC answer here and summarize as "a poster session with alcohol" (thx to Quantum Detectors!). Also a shout out to Sigray, Hitachi, and Stony Brook U. for sponsoring the open bar and dinner at the Old Field Club. ;) If you have not yet registered for SES and reserved your accommodation, please do not hesitate as these deadlines are rapidly approaching. Both can be accessed via the conference web page, https://urldefense.us/v3/__http://www.bnl.gov/ses-symposium/__;!!G_uCfscf7eW... <https://urldefense.us/v3/__http://www.bnl.gov/ses-symposium/__;!!G_uCfscf7eW... >. If booking Hilton and need to edit your arrival/departure dates then look near top of page to edit and apply changes (somewhat obscure). Looking forward to seeing you at SES-2025! ________________________________ Subject: Flying High at SES! POSTERS... Expect a vibrant 'poster sesh' at the 8th SES! Wang Center at SBU has an awesome setup where the posters hang down from the ceiling (pics below). It will be a total blast and great opportunity to share your cool science with the Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Science community! [cid:1b8132b2-826e-4a14-97ec-2be4a5202964] ________________________________ Subject: Abstracts due 7-Aug for the 8th Synchrotron Environmental Science Symposium! Dear Friends, We are pleased to announce the 8th Synchrotron Environmental Science (SES) Symposium, which will be held at Stony Brook University from September 29 – October 1, 2025.! [Graphical user interface, website AI-generated content may be incorrect.] This symposium will unite leading experts in synchrotron research and environmental science to foster dialogue, collaboration, and innovation. The 8th SES Symposium focuses on the complex interplay amongst and between hydrologic, geomorphic, geochemical, and biological processes and how this dynamic near-surface environment responds to change. Topics will include problems of high societal impact within research focused on the “Critical Zone”, hydrologic cycle, soil science and ecology, geochemistry, geomicrobiology, and critical elements. This year’s program features a diverse array of invited and contributed talks, updates on cutting-edge facilities, a sponsor banquet, an exclusive tour of NSLS-II beamlines, a vibrant poster session, and exhibits highlighting new technologies and instrumentation. Important Dates: March 31 Registration opens Aug 7 Deadline to submit an abstract August 28 August 29 September 12 Hilton Reservation closes Holiday Inn Reservation closes Deadline to register For further information, please visit the symposium website<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://urldefense.us/v3/__http:/*www.bnl.gov/se... >. ************************************************************************************ Cheers, Ryan XFM beamline (NSLS-II)
