A symposium to
honor the career of Dr. Walter Giger will be jointly convened by the
Environmental Chemistry and Geochemistry Divisions of the American Chemical
Society for 234th National ACS National Meeting to be held in Boston,
MA August 19-23, 2007. This symposium is being organized to highlight Dr.
Giger’s 30 year record of seminal achievements in geochemistry and environmental
chemistry. Papers are invited that highlight the legacy of Dr. Giger’s career
as a pioneer in the development of analytical methods for the detection of trace
levels of organic environmental pollutants in complex environmental matrices and
the application of those methods to solve problems in geochemistry and
environmental chemistry. We seek papers that describe, but are not limited to,
state-of-the art analytical methods for environmental matrices, mass flow
studies on organic chemicals, occurrence and behavior of organic (emerging)
contaminants in natural and engineered systems, tracers for defining geochemical
and contaminant processes, sediments as archives of contamination, source
identification and subsurface degradation of contaminants, assessment of
exposure to contaminants, and the geochemistry of natural and anthropogenic
compounds.
Presenters are required to submit a short abstract to the ACS by April 1, 2007, using the ACS online system (OASYS) at http://oasys.acs.org/. This division also requires an extended abstract of two or more pages that must be submitted to the symposium organizer by April 1, 2007 using the instructions posted on the web at http://envirofacs.org. The organizer prefers to receive extended abstracts as attachments to e-Mail in MS Word or RTF file formats. Please label the abstract file with the ACS abstract number and first author’s last name.
