MESSAGE FROM THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE
Dear Participants
From the heart of South America, the
organizers of the 11th SSAGI – Latin America (11th South American Symposium
on Isotope Geology) welcome all participants and guests to Cochabamba
Bolivia. The SSAGI is organized every two years, with the goal of providing a
discussion of methods and applications of stable and radioactive isotopes in
the Earth Sciences and the advances achieved in recent years, in this field
of science.
The idea to organize a SSAGI in Bolivia was born in 2006 in
Punta de Este, Uruguay but it was
not until the 10th SSAGI at Puerto Vallarta, Mexico that it came into an
agreement.
The symposium will take place during 3 days, including the
participation of keynote speakers, plenary talks, as well as guest talks and numerous
poster presentations with state-of-the-art topics in different fields of
isotope geology.
We thank you all for your participation to convert the 11th SSAGI into an international
symposium linking geoscientists from South America, North America, Europe and
other countries of the world in themes related to isotope geology.
We hope you will enjoy the meeting and have a pleasant stay in
Bolivia.
Sincerely yours
