Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the session on â??Apatite â?? an
accessory mineral with a big footprint in geochemical, environmental, and
biological processesâ?? to be held at the 4th European Mineralogical
Conference at Trinity College Dublin, 18-23 August 2024 (
https://emc-2024.org/

).

The abstract submission deadline (22nd March 2024) is fast approaching!

Apatite â?? an accessory mineral with a big footprint in
geochemical, environmental, and biological processes

Due to its robust crystal structure allowing for many cationic and
anionic substitutions, the apatite supergroup is one of the largest mineral
families known. One of its most prominent members, fluorapatite, is a major
sink for P, F, and REE in the Earthâ??s crust and the upper mantle since it
occurs as an accessory mineral in almost all rock types. As a host for many
isotopes commonly used in radiometric techniques, it plays a significant
role in petrochronology. Although normally an accessory mineral, apatite
can also be a rock-forming mineral in sedimentary phosphorites and igneous
ore deposits of economic importance such as iron oxide-apatite deposits and
carbonatites. While it is also the main component of teeth, bones, and
certain invertebrate exoskeletons, synthetic apatite and its derivatives
have applications in a variety of fields including the pharmaceutical
industry and tissue engineering. Moreover, apatite is the foundation of the
global phosphorous cycle as well as an essential source for fertilizer and
an important agent in environmental remediation. Here we invite all
contributions devoted to minerals of the apatite supergroup, both
from nature and experiment, including applications in geological and
biological systems as well as in agriculture and industry.

Conveners:
- David Chew (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland)
- Daniel Harlov (GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences)
- Alicja Wudarska (Institute of Geological Sciences of the Polish Academy
of Sciences and GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences)
- Bartosz Puzio (AGH University of Krakow, Poland)
