Please submit your abstracts for our sessions:

Session Title: T8. Advances, Progress, and Challenges in Utilizing Hyperspectral Remote Sensing for Characterizing Tailings and Abandoned Mine Lands
Endorsed by Geological Society of America (GSA) Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Petrology, and Volcanology Division 

Disciplines:
• Environmental Geoscience
• Energy Geology
• Economic Geology

Session Leaders:
Dean Riley, Sanaz Salati, PhD 

Session Description:
Mine tailings and abandoned mine lands characterization are essential for sustainable mining and the transition to green energy. Despite its potential, hyperspectral remote sensing remains underutilized. This session focuses on its importance for critical mineral characterization, vegetation mapping, acid mine drainage assessment, and temporal analysis.
 

Session Title: T4. Seafloor Hydrothermal Systems and their Ancient Analogs
Endorsed by the Society of Economic Geologists and GSA Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Petrology, & Volcanology Division

Conveners: Marta Codeço, Andrew J. Martin, Maria Figueroa
Keynote Speaker: Melissa Anderson (U. Toronto)

Dive with us into the depths of seafloor hydrothermal systems and their ancient analogs and explore their potential as vital resources for the green energy transition. Whether you're a researcher, student, or industry professional, this session invites contributions on ore-forming processes across all geodynamic settings. Don't miss your chance to be part of this cutting-edge discussion!
