2007 EnviroSync Workshop
Assessing Synchrotron Radiation Capabilities and
Future Needs for
Molecular Environmental Science and Low-Temperature Geochemistry
July 23-24, 2007 Rockville, MD
On July 23-24, 2007, EnviroSync convened a workshop in Rockville, MD, to assess current synchrotron radiation
capabilities and future needs for the molecular environmental science (MES) and low-temperature geochemistry (LTG)
communities. Participants included synchrotron users, beamline staff, instrument designers, facility administrators,
and program managers of funding agencies. Overviews were presented of current capabilities available for MES/LTG
researchers at the seven SR facilities in the US. Presentations also addressed new possibilities for future research of
interest to our fields. Conceptual plans for upgrades and new construction projects were presented by facility directors.
All presentations from the workshop can be downloaded below.
Findings from the workshop will be presented as a final report in late 2007/early 2008, which will be made available to
funding agencies, facility directors, and the MES/LTG communities.
