The application deadline for the biannual Mary Anning Conference Series is still open until 15th of May!

On the Mary Anning Conference Series
In this episode of the Biogeosciences podcast series Bikem Ekberzade sat down with the co-organizers of the 2025 Mary Anning Conference, Tristan Quaife and Lisa Wingate, as well as conference participant Catherine Morfopoulos. The conference titled Novel constraints on the coupling between the water and carbon cycles was held in Bordeaux, France. For details on the conference and its presentations, our listeners can visit the event’s website. Also, listeners may find useful tips in the podcast as the guests talk about their journey to hosting this conference as well as their individual experiences. You can listen to the podcast here: Mary Anning Conference Series On the conference series EGU’s Mary Anning Conferences are held every two years and promote novel and innovative research related to biogeochemical cycles in the Earth system. The conferences bring together experienced and early career scientists for an interdisciplinary discussion on all aspects of chemical, physical, and biological processes and their interactions in the atmosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere. The Mary Anning conference was a great way of helping to build community, especially amongst early career scientists. I’d encourage anyone thinking of running a meeting with a specific focus to consider applying for this funding. (Tristan Quaife, former organizer) The Call for Proposals for the Mary Anning conference 2027 is open until May 15 and you can find information on how to apply here.

⛏️ How does artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) contaminate agricultural systems with mercury? McLagan et al. (2025) synthesise the pathways from mining site to food crop, from atmospheric deposition to root uptake, and highlight the food security and public health risks that follow.

🌊 How will dissolved organic carbon export change under high-emission climate scenarios? A modelling study by Flanjak et al. (2025) reveals that warming-driven stratification is set to reduce DOC export by around 6%, with important implications for the ocean's role in long-term carbon storage.

The three studies span some of the most pressing questions in marine and environmental biogeochemistry today. Taken together, these studies trace carbon and contaminants through water, sediments, and food systems, offering a sobering portrait of an ocean and land system under increasing pressure.
