  1. The main purposes of EnviroSync are to: (1) serve as an advocate for the MES-SR community (2) assess the state of existing SR facilities for MES research on a continuing basis (3) assess the SR needs of the MES community on a continuing basis (4) serve as an advisory group to federal agencies concerning the need for new SR facilities in the MES area

  2. EnviroSync Workshops and Meetings • Assessing Synchrotron Radiation Capabilities and Future Needs for • Molecular Environmental Science and Low-Temperature Geochemistry • 23-24 July 2007, Rockville, MD • Synchrotron Environmental Science Workshop Series • SES III September 2005 NSLS • SES IV Fall 2008 SSRL (Stanford) • Contact: John Bargar at SSRL or Peter Nico at ALS • Periodic informal meetings at national meetings (e.g., ACS)
