II International Conference

Crystallogenesis
and
Mineralogy

dedicated to the memory of prof. V. B. Tatarsky

St.Petersburg, October 1-5, 2007

FIRST CIRCULAR

Dear Colleague,

You are cordially invited to participate in the II International Conference on CRYSTALLOGENESIS AND MINERALOGY to be held in St.Petersburg in October 2007. The Conference is devoted to the development of fundamental crystallogenesis and its implications in mineralogy: modeling of mineral formation processes; analysis of genetic character of crystal morphology and crystal chemistry of minerals; studies of aggregate structures; synthesis of minerals and other crystalline materials; crystallogenesis in organic mineralogy and biomineralogy; history and teaching the crystallogenesis.

The Conference is dedicated to the 100th birthday of Professor V.B. Tatarsky (05.11.1907-23.02.1993), outstanding Russian scientist who made significant contributions to mineralogy and crystallography.

Chairs: A.E. Glikin (St. Petersburg),   V.G. Krivovichev (St. Petersburg)

Co-chairs: W. Schmahl (Munich), W. Depmeier (Kiel)

Conference Secretaries: L.Yu. Kryuchkova (St. Petersburg), N.V. Platonova (St. Petersburg)
