NAWLA is a new biennial meeting with the mission to transfer laser ablation knowledge between specialists and promote a sense of community among laser ablation users. The inaugural 2015 workshop lasted two days and had 110 participants. NAWLA’17 now expands to 2.5 days and brings together 130 scientists and vendors from 12 countries. Once again, the Jackson School of Geosciences hosts NAWLA at the University of Texas at Austin. NAWLA’17 covers the latest progress in laser-based microanalytical instrumentation, methods and applications, and provides opportunities for informal interaction among attendees. We accepted 66 abstracts (34 oral, including 8 plenary talks, 32 poster presentations), contributing to eight thematic sessions – most concluding with a moderated Q&A period. Eminent guest speakers, Professors Sam Houk (USA) and Henry Longerich (Canada) initiate a theme session on the Foundations of LA-ICP-MS including a moderated discussion with all participants. NAWLA’17 introduces a laser ablation image competition, with a grand prize and people’s choice award.Item ToScA North America (6 – 8 June 2017, The University of Texas, Austin, TX) Program(Jackson School of Geosciences; The University of Texas at Austin, 2017-06) Ahmed, Farah; Maisano, JessieToScA North America will address key areas of science, including Multi-modal Imaging, Geosciences, Forensics, Increasing Contrast, Educational Outreach, Data, Materials Science and Medical and Biological Science.Item 6th Annual Jackson School of Geosciences Student Research Symposium, February 4, 2017(Jackson School of Geosciences; The University of Texas at Austin, 2017-02) Jackson School of Geosciences; The University of Texas at AustinItem Geologic Map of the San Marcos North Quadrangle and Adjacent Portions of the Mountain City and San Marcos South Quadrangles, Hays, Caldwell and Guadalupe Counties, Texas.(1976) Grimshaw, T.W.Digitally redrafted and georeferenced color version of the 1:24,000 paper geologic maps contained in Grimshaw, T.W., 1976, Environmental geology of urban and urbanized areas, a case study from the San Marcos area, Texas [Ph.D. thesis], Austin, Texas, The University of Texas at Austin, 244 p.
