Further details are available from Dr. A. L. Gray, Department of Chemistry, University of Surrey, Guild- ford, Surrey GU2 5XH, UK. Spectroscopy Across the Spectrum; Analytical Applications of Spectroscopy July 12-15, 1987, Norwich, UK The Conference (incorporating The First International Near Infrared Spectroscopy Conference) will be held at the University of East Anglia, Norwich.The aim of the meeting is to bring together spectrosco- pists from many different disciplines with the prospect of an interchange of ideas and methods. The meeting will be organ- ised into: general, poster and parallel specialist sessions, with an equipment exhibition and social programme. Plenary lectures will be presented by: K. H. Norris (USA); J. G. Grasselli (USA); D. Games (UK); L. Ebdon (UK); A. A. Fell (UK); P. Griffiths (USA); N. Sheppard (UK); M. L. Gross (USA); W. F. McClure (USA); A. Thorne (UK); C. L. Wilkins (USA); H. J. H. MacFie (UK); E. W. Stark (USA); and J. F. Tyson (UK). The plenary and keynote lectures will cover the areas of: combined techniques, data analysis and Fourier transform spectroscopy. Parallel sessions are planned in the following areas: near IR, atomic absorption, mass, NMR, microwave and IR spectroscopy, process control and chemometrics. Poster contributions are invited in these areas.For further information contact Dr. C. S. Creaser, School of Chemical Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich NR4 7TJ, UK. 29th Rocky Mountain Conference August 2-6, 1987, Denver, CO, USA The 29th Rocky Mountain Conference will be held at the Radison Hotel, Denver. The keynote speakers for the atomic spectroscopy symposium are Stan Crouch (Michigan State University) who will speak on laser ionisation in flames and Mike Blades (University of British Columbia) who will speak on excitation mechanisms in the ICP. There will also be a symposium on ICP-MS.As in previous years an outing is planned for the day after the symposium. For further information on the atomic spectroscopy symposium contact Dr. T. M. Niemczyk, University of New Mexico,. Department of Chemistry, Clark Hall 103, Albuquerque, NM 87131, USA. For general information of the confer- ence contact Carol Giles, Rockwell Inter- national, General Lab. Bldg. 881, P.O. Box 464, Golden, CO 80401, USA. 1988 Winter Conference on Plasma Spec- trochemistry January 3-9, 1988, San Diego, CA, USA Papers describing original work with plasma spectrochemical applications, fun- damentals and novel instrumentation developments are solicited for the 1988 Winter Conference on Plasma Spectro- chemistry to be held at the San Diego Princess resort and Convention Center in San Diego, California. Titles and 50-word abstracts should be received by July 2, 1987 and for accepted papers, full abstracts are due October 2, 1987.Manu- scripts for publication (after peer review) in the special issue of the Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry are requested by January 1988. Sponsored by the ICP Information Newsletter this, the fifth in a series of biennial meetings, will feature develop- ments in plasma spectrochemical analysis as performed with inductively coupled plasma, d.c. plasma, microwave plasma or glow and hollow cathode discharge sources. Ten symposia organised and chaired by recognised experts will be presented in lecture and poster sessions, along with six plenary and 15 invited lectures. Thirty expert short courses will be taught at introductory and advanced levels. A three-day exhibition of spectro- scopic instrumentation and chemicals, electronics, glassware, publications and software supporting plasma spectroscopy will be held in conjunction with the scheduled sessions. For details, contact Dr. Ramon M. Barnes, Conference Chairman, Depart- ment of Chemistry, GRC Towers, Uni- versity of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA 01003-0035, USA.
