Check out the latest paper in Economic Geology, an excellent effort on showcasing the MAIA detector and setup at the XfM beamline (Australian Synchrotron, Melbourne).
Green screen- TV Interview in Munich
Today Frank had an interview for the science show ZDF Nano and Leschs Kosmos at Caligari Film GmbH in Munich. It was all about gold and the group’s work on geomicrobial gold cycling.
Looking forward to the final product!
Impressions from behind the scenes:
This year’s highly anticipated calendar is quietly revolutionary in its depiction of natural beauty and unemotional naked electron microprobe analyses.
Our calendar girl Angelica ‘Angel’ Rea made it into the 2017 international edition of the Cameca Calendar – Go Angel – Go February 2017
Fantastic effort in Kilkivan! New Paper in Chemical Geology:
Highlights
- The biogeochemical cycling of gold is continuous.
- An episode of gold dissolution/re-precipitation can be 7.64 ± 4.1 years.
- Grains represent 17.9–58.5 years of gold cycling in subtropical environments.
- Colloidal gold remains embedded in clay minerals.

Gold sampling in Western Australia
It was a very pleasant trip to Donnybrook with Clive and Ted! Thank you for your support and a great time in the field!
Where is Frank? Try and find him on the picture.
He is at the Gordon Research Conference (Girona, Spain) on Flow and Transport in Permeable Media, a topic that will be very important, if we want understand and model the cycling/transport of gold in Earth surface environments.
As this was my first invitation to present at Gordon Conference, I particularly want to thank the Chair Prof. Dr. Rainer Helmig and his group as well as the co-chair Prof. Ruben Juanes, as well as Gordon Conference organisation team for choosing such an excellent list of speakers, a beautiful location and making it an all round great experience.
