The frontiers of uranium-series research: Uranium-series symposium; Sydney, Australia, 12-14 February 2014

Scientists working on uranium (U)-series isotopes in igneous and sedimentary systems came together for a symposium in mid-February. The overall objectives of the symposium were to advance understanding of the timescales of magmatic and sedimentary processes and to identify key scientific and analytical future research directions. Twenty-nine participants from 16 institutions attended the symposium. The keynote speakers were Kari Cooper (University of California, Davis), Francois Chabaux (University of Strasbourg), and Ken Sims (University of Wyoming).
