Analytical Microscopy in the Earth & Planetary Sciences

The Geological Society of London is pleased to announce a brand new 2-day hybrid conference! Held on February 26th-27th 2026. Analytical Microscopy in the Earth and Planetary Sciences (AMEPS) will highlight & discuss recent developments and opportunities for the use of analytical microscopy across the geosciences, including the use of optical, electron, and X-ray microscopy, as well as the tools and platforms for processing data within research, industry, and museums or collections.

Session topics include, but are not limited to, new methods and developments, chemical & structural analysis across space and time, digital twins and big data, 2D vs 3D vs 4D techniques, digital methods in geoscience exploration, automated mineralogy, XCT/XRM, the use of EBSD in geological history reconstructions, synchrotron techniques in analytical microscopy, and the intersection of SEM/TEM/FIB-SEM. If you take part in any form of analytical microscopy or just have an interest in what's happening in the community, then this is the conference for you!

Virtual attendance for students is completely free! Registration and abstract submissions open soon, and any questions can be emailed to [email protected].

We hope to see you there!
