ISEG Conference Series

The ISEG Conference Series are held once every three years.

 ‌Logo for International Symposium on Environmental Geochemistry ISEG

The ISEG (International Symposium on Environmental Geochemistry) conference series started in the late 1980s. The initial local symposium on environmental geochemistry was held in Finland. After that, the first truly international ISEG symposium was held in Uppsala, Sweden in 1991. From the beginning a core group of three geochemical scientists provided leadership to these symposia: Prof. Iain Thornton, Ron Fuge and Olle Selinus. It was decided that the ISEG symposia would be held every 3 years resulting in meetings on almost every continent since 1991.

ISEG 2016 was held Galway, Ireland in combination with ISEH 2016 and Geoinformatics 2016 as a joint conference (http://www.nuigalway.ie/iseh2016).

ISEG 2019 will be held at Peking University, Beijing, China. Details will be annouced later.

During ISEG 2016, the ISEG International Board (www.nuigalway.ie/ineh/isegconferenceseries/boardmembers) was established on Aug. 15, 2016, containing internationally leading experts in the field of Environmental Geochemistry. The board members were tasked to help to promote ISEG conference series.

The ISEG conference series are supported by four international societies:
