International Association Of Geoanalysts

International Association of Geoanalysts alluded to as the IAG is a worldwide not-for-benefit learned society. Its goals are to serve as a universal gathering for the progression of geoanalytical science and to advance the interests and backing the expert needs of those included in the investigation of land and natural materials". The affiliation plans to enhance and advance the appraisal of estimation vulnerability and information quality as fit for reason through capability testing and the improvement and utilization of geochemical reference materials. The IAG sorts out gatherings, meetings, workshops and short courses, is connected with diary distributed, and works two capability testing plans: GeoPT, started in 1994 expected for logical science research centers managing entire rock geochemical investigations and G-Probe for microprobe and laser removal ICP-MS geochemical labs. The IAG likewise completes the confirmation of land and ecological reference materials as per its own particular Certification Protocol, and holds contact participation of ISO-REMCO to speak to the perspectives of the geochemical research group especially in matters of metrology. The IAG has a lawful business arm, IAGeo Limited, which disseminates, advertises and creates reference materials for experimental exploration. The International Association of Geoanalysts was established on the second of June 1997 amid the 'Geoanalysis 97' Conference held at Vail, Colorado, USA. It is a successor association to the International Working Group (IWG-GIT) on geochemical reference materials, which worked under the heading of Dr K. Govindaraju at the CRPG, Nancy (France) from 1977 to its disintegration in 1996, and which was nearly connected with the diary Geostandards Newsletter.
