The 2011 meeting of the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies (FACSS) will be held in Reno, NV from October 2-6.
Lake Tahoe
The submission deadline for abstracts that will be considered for oral presentation is April 30 (Today!)– those abstracts that are submitted after the deadline will be presented as a poster. Abstracts can be submitted online at http://www.facss.org.
Several focal areas have been identified by the atomic spectroscopy program chairman, Dr. Carsten Engelhard which are to be given special attention in the 2011 program:
- Plasma Spectrochemistry: From Fundamentals to Applications (Keynote: Prof. Gary M. Hieftje)
- Isotope analysis (Keynote: Prof. Frank Vanhaecke)
- Microplasmas for Atomic and Molecular Analyses (Organizer: Prof. José A.C. Broekaert)
- Chemistry in Arts and Archaeology (Organizer: Prof. Mary Kate Donais)
- Progress in Metallomics and Speciation Analysis (Organizer: Prof. Norbert Jakubowski)
- Laser and Laser Spectroscopy (Organizer: Prof. Rick Russo, Dr. Jhanis Gonzalez)
- X-ray Fluorescence (Organizer: Dr. George Havrilla, Dr. Brian Patterson)
- Laser Induced Breakdown Spectrometry (Organizer: Prof. Rick Russo, Dr. Jhanis Gonzalez)
…and contributed sessions will be added to the program as space allows…so if you do not see a program area above that fits your research focus, don’t let it stop you from submitting a paper!
