Organic Geochemistry I-II: Trends for the 21st Century

Abstract

The IMOG is the official conference of the European Association of Organic Geochemists (EAOG) and one of the most important events on this subject in the world. After the previous IMOG meetings in Madrid (7th IMOG; 1975), San Sebastian (17th IMOG; 1995), Seville (22nd IMOG), Tenerife is proud to host the fourth IMOG edition in Spain during September 15-20, 2013. We would like to dedicate this IMOG edition to Prof. Dr. Geoffrey EGLINTON. In the early 60’, together with Dick HAMILTON and the local Prof. Antonio GONZÁLEZ-GONZÁLEZ (1917- 2002), Prof EGLINTON developed the biomarker proxi in organic geochemistry when analysing leaf waxes of Canarian endemic Crassulaceae species (see communication OP1-1). This book, divided in two volumes, encomprises all communications to the 26 IMOG. For this IMOG edition a grand total of 580 abstracts were submitted by authors from all around the world. During March 21 – 23 2013 the 26 IMOG Scientific Committee (SC) meet in Madrid (Residencia de Estudiantes CSIC) to review and discuss the distribution and form of presentation, and the Conference's general chart of events was produced.
