I wanted to call your attention to an upcoming conference that should be of interest to many on the ISOGEOCHEM list serve.  The Eighth Gordon Conference on Catchment Science will be held July 17-22, 2005 at Colby College in Waterville, Maine.  This conference continues to be a prime venue for international exchange of cutting-edge research in catchment science. The conference theme this time is "Biogeochemical Cycles in a Changing World: From Process to Practice", and will feature sessions on disturbance, restoration, and long-term monitoring as well as a field trip to catchment research sites in Acadia National Park.  Visit the conference web site at: http://www.grc.org/programs/2005/catch.htm for complete information on the conference program, and how to register and submit an abstract.  Registration is currently open, and will remain so until the date of the conference or until the limit of 135 persons is re! ached.  Thanks.---Doug Burns
