Topics
The topics for IMOG 2025 are listed below.
Biogeochemistry
All aspects of the field of biogeochemistry will be considered, including preservation and transformation of organic matter in the bio- and geosphere, degradation of organic matter, palaeoenvironment, stable isotopes, carbon and nitrogen cycles, marine chemistry.
Paleoenvironments & Paleoclimates
Abstracts covering the study of past environments and climates, using geochemical and isotopic data to reconstruct Earth’s past conditions. Topics include the analysis of sedimentary records, stable isotopes, organic matter, and trace elements to infer climate fluctuations, glaciations, biogeochemical cycling, and oceanic conditions.
Petroleum & Coal Geochemistry
All topics related to petroleum formation and systems, with emphasis on geochemical controls on reservoir fluid properties, generation and migration of petroleum and gas, basin modeling, reservoir and production geochemistry, organic solids, kinetics, source rocks, fluid inclusions, and oil-rock interactions. Subjects in the areas of coal geochemistry and petrology are also welcomed.
Soil & Wetland Geochemistry
Topics related to chemical composition and processes occurring in soils and wetlands, with particular emphasis on nutrient cycling, trace metal behavior, carbon sequestration, and the role of these environments in the global biogeochemical cycles. Key topics include the dynamics of soil organic matter, redox processes, nutrient transformations (e.g., nitrogen and phosphorus cycles), pollutant fate and transport, and wetland biogeochemistry, including carbon storage and greenhouse gas emissions. Environmental pollution and its impact on soil and wetland systems are included in this topic.
New Trends & Sustainability in Organic Geochemistry
This field explores recent advancements in organic geochemistry, with an emphasis on sustainable approaches in the study and management of organic compounds in the Earth system. Topics include the development of new analytical techniques, the role of organic compounds in environmental processes, biofuels, and renewable energy sources. There is also a focus on understanding organic matter preservation, biodegradation in natural systems, and the development of sustainable geochemical practices in resource management, pollution control, and climate change mitigation.
