The International Conference of Gas Geochemistry (ICGG) is an international forum where the latest research and technological advances related to gas geochemistry are presented and discussed. This is the 14th meeting of the ICGG series which started in 1982 to unite experts in gas geochemistry, working on various geological and environmental issues. The objective of the ICGG-14, which is to be held in Wrocław & Świeradów, Lower Silesia Province, Poland, is to promote international and interdisciplinary exchange of information, to foster co-operation among researchers in academia, research institutes, private companies, and industry, and to stimulate growth and advances in the field of gas geochemistry.
ICGG-14 Wrocław & Świeradów will cover all the main scientific topics associated with gas geochemistry (carbon dioxide, methane, gaseous hydrocarbons, nitrogen, oxygen, noble gases (helium, radon etc.) from the perspective of different geosystems (e.g. volcanic-geothermal systems, sedimentary basins/petroleum reservoirs, crystalline rocks, ophiolites, submarine environment, ground waters) as well as cross-cutting topics (gas origin and migration, Earth evolution and degassing, natural hazards, environmental monitoring, palaeoclimate reconstructions, new techniques and measurements). Considering the geological characteristics and diverse of gases phenomena of the Lower Silesia Province, and the fact that Świeradów is a radon spa, the theme of ICGG-14 will be „Gases in the Earth crust, benefits and hazards” focusing not only the environmental risk, but also gases as a tool of geochemical studies, curative factor and last but not least raw materials.

Scientific topics:

• Radon in environment
• Gases in Volcanoes and Geothermal systems
• Gases in Petroliferous Sedimentary Basins and Reservoirs
• Gases in Groundwater and Crystalline rocks
• Gases migration and mechanism and Earth Degassing
• Noble Gases Applications
• Gases and Geo-hazards
• Shale Gas and Tight Gas
• Gases Measurements and Techniques
• Deep and High Maturated Gases
• Coal-derived Gases and Coalbed Methane
• CO2 and Greenhouse Gases

Expected number of participants: 100
