Geochemical Perspectives Letters receives its first impact factor
Following publication of the 2019 Journal Citation Reports, we are delighted to announce that Geochemical Perspectives Letters (GPL), the European Association of Geochemistry’s fully open-access community-led letters journal, has received an impact factor of 4.03, which puts GPL amongst the top journals in geochemistry.
The editors and editorial office thank all the authors, reviewers and readers who have contributed to GPL‘s growing success and recognition.

Elements: Propose a thematic issue
The Elements Editorial Team are inviting submissions of proposals for future thematic issues. The team will consider a wide range of topics broadly related to mineralogy, geochemistry, and petrology. For full consideration, proposals should be submitted by 31 July. Four to six proposals will then be selected for inclusion into the 2021 lineup at the annual meeting on 18 August. Full information about how to submit a proposal can be found at http://elementsmagazine.org/publish-in-elements/.

The PhDiaries: An Introvert at a Conference
"Introvert: a person who gets their energy from being by themselves rather than with other people. Can enjoy socialising but is quickly drained and must seek alone time to recharge."
One year ago, Lucy Kissick attended Goldschmidt2018 in Boston, her first international academic conference. Lucy video diary’d the experience to share on her vlog 'The PhDiaries', hoping to help fellow introverts see that they're not alone and to help others understand why some conference-goers go home and hide at the end of each day!

"Great science, friendly community, and mountain views": Geobiology in beautiful Banff
[By Jenine McCutcheon] I was excited to attend the 2nd Geobiology Society Conference because it is a very topic-focused meeting, bringing together many leading and emerging experts in the field. Additionally, this meeting has a particular interest in highlighting the research of young scientists, making it an ideal target for the EAG early career funding. The meeting was hosted at the Banff Conference Centre in beautiful Banff, Alberta, Canada...

Graphite floatation on a magma ocean and the fate of carbon during core formation
Carbon is a strongly siderophile element and current models assume that in a magma ocean, most of the carbon is sequestered into the core. Here we show that (i) for an initially highly reduced magma ocean, most of the carbon will be…

182W evidence for core-mantle interaction in the source of mantle plumes
Tungsten isotopes are the ideal tracers of core-mantle chemical interaction. Given that W is moderately siderophile, it preferentially partitioned into the Earth’s core during its segregation, leaving the mantle depleted in...

Producing graphene from carbon dioxide
[ScienceDaily] The general public knows the chemical compound of carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere and because of its global-warming effect. However, carbon dioxide can also be a useful raw material for chemical reactions. A working group at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has now reported…
