 MAS Regional Workshops are biennial events designed to provide postgraduat
 e-level and research workers in materials science\, material engineering a
 nd related subjects\, with basic knowledge of the capabilities and limitat
 ions of microbeam analysis.  The 2018 meeting will focus on the specific r
 equirements of microbeam analysis as utilised by the Earth Science communi
 ty.  The meeting is organised in collaboration with the Mineralogical Soci
 ety of GB and Ireland who presented the workshop “Microbeam Techniques in 
 Geosciences” at Imperial College\, London in 1998.  Here we revisit the su
 bject to look at the range of techniques now available and the technologic
 al advances made in the intervening two decades.\nPast EMAS Regional Works
 hops were held in Finland (1994)\, Hungary (1996)\, Spain (1998)\, the Cze
 ch Republic (2000)\, Poland (2002)\, Slovenia (2004)\, Germany (2006)\, It
 aly (2008)\, the Netherlands (2010)\, Italy (2012)\, Austria (2014)\, and 
 France (2016).\nThe core topics of the 13th EMAS Regional Workshop are:\n
 \nScanning electron microscopy (SEM) – Imaging and X-ray microanalysis\nEl
 ectron probe microanalysis (EPMA)\nCathodoluminescence (CL)\nElectron back
 scatter diffraction (EBSD)\nTransmission electron microscopy (TEM)\nLaser 
 ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS)\nSecondar
 y ion mass spectrometry (SIMS)\nNanoSIMS\nSynchrotron-based microanalysis 
 (XANES\, XRF)\nSample preparation and ion beam preparation including focus
 sed ion beam (FIB)\nRaman spectroscopy\nFourier-transform infra-red spectr
 oscopy (FT-IR)\nMicro-computed tomography (MicroCT)\nAtom probe tomography
  (APT)\n\nA technical tutorial by analytical experts on each of the subjec
 t areas will consider the essential purpose and limitations of the techniq
 ue and outline the recent advances.  Applications talks by renowned Earth 
 Scientists will then describe how individual and combined techniques are a
 pplied to a range of Earth Science research fields such as:\n\nVolcanology
 \nPalaeobiology\nPetrology\nHigh pressure experimental petrology\nGeochemi
 stry – high and low temperature\nIsotope geochemistry\nCosmochemistry\n\nt
 op\n \nScientific programme\nThe programme will consist of technical tutor
 ials given by analytical experts and invited lectures delivered by renowne
 d Earth Science researchers\, three sessions of contributed talks and two 
 poster sessions.  The invited lectures and poster abstracts will be publis
 hed in the Workshop Book of Tutorials and Abstracts.  The official languag
 e of the workshop will be English.\nDownload the complete scientific progr
 amme.\ntop\n \nContributed talks and poster presentations\nAll participant
 s to the workshop are invited to present their work in the form of either 
 a poster or a contributed talk. Abstracts to be presented during the works
 hop must fit no more than two A4 pages\, using the Word-template available
  on the EMAS website (www.microbeamanalysis.eu/abstract-submission).  Deta
 iled guidelines are mentioned on the template.  Online submission details 
 are given on the workshop webpage.\nThose presentations selected for contr
 ibuted talks will have a 15-minute platform presentation.  A further 12 po
 sters will be selected for a lightning ‘3-minute’ platform presentation in
  two dedicated sessions.\nLate poster abstract submission deadline is Augu
 st 15th.\ntop\n \nPoster and contributed talk prizes\nA jury will decide o
 n two prizes: One awarded by EMAS for the best poster contribution and the
  second by MinSoc for the best contributed talk.\n top\n \nEMAS Bursaries

 s own international airport.\ntop\n \nHow to get to Bristol\n- By air:\nBr
 istol Airport is eight miles (13 km) south of the city and has scheduled f
 lights to many UK and European cities. To get to the University from Brist
 ol Airport:\n\nThe Airport Flyer Express bus (service A1) runs approximate
 ly every ten minutes at peak times between the airport and Bristol Bus and
  Coach Station near the University campus.\nChecker Cars offer taxis from 
 Bristol Airport. The journey should take around 30 minutes.\nFurther trave
 l information is available from the Bristol Airport website.\n\nAlso rail 
 services will connect to both London Heathrow and London Gatwick airports.
 \n- By train:\nBristol has two mainline train stations. Visitors should tr
 avel to Bristol Temple Meads as it is closer than Bristol Parkway. To get 
 to Wills Hall from Bristol Temple Meads:\n\nThe no. 3 bus will connect fro
 m city centre bus station to Parry’s Lane.\nTaxis are available from the e
 xit to the station. The journey should take about 25 minutes.\n\nFind out 
 more about rail services via National Rail Enquiries.\n- By coach:\nCoache
 s from a range of UK cities arrive and depart from Bristol Bus and Coach S
 tation on Marlborough Street in the centre of Bristol.\nFor information ab
 out coach times and fares\, consult the National Express Coaches or Megabu
 s websites.\n- By car:\nThe M4 and M5 motorways put both London and Birmin
 gham within a two-hour drive\, while the M32 allows direct access from the
  M4 to the heart of the city.\nDirections to the University campus from th
 e M32 (also available as a Google Map):\n\nPostcode of Wills Hall is BS9 1
 AE\nFrom the city\, follow signs for Clifton then head out on the A4018\nO
 n the downs (open green area) turn left into Parry's Lane\nFrom J17 on M5 
 follow A4018 into Bristol and turn right into Parry's Lane.\nTuesday 4th S
 eptember - beware of road closures due to Tour of Britain Cycle race which
  starts and finishes on Ladies Mile close to Wills Hall.\n\nIf travelling 
 from the South and South West\, the A4\, A38 and A37 provide direct access
