The International Conference on Gas Geochemistry (ICGG) is an international forum where the latest research and technological advances related to gas geochemistry are presented and discussed. This is the 17thmeeting of the ICGG series which started in 1982 to unite experts in gas geochemistry, working on various geological and environmental issues. The objective of the ICGG-17, which is to be held in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China, is to promote international and interdisciplinary exchange of information, to foster co-operation among researchers in academia, research institutes, private co...
Over the past fifty years, scientists' and scholars' studies in gas geochemistry have been chiefly communicated at various international scientific meetings. In spite of its growing scientific importance, a kind of ancillary role has been commonly attributed to gas geochemistry in modern times.
Nevertheless, different opportunities for scientific exchanges have been independently established over the past three decades. Among these, a series of International Conferences on Gas Geochemistry (ICGG) have been held. The first partly official meeting was held in 1982 in Paris, organized by P. Zettwoog.
The 1st International Colloquium on Gas Geochemistry was held in Mons, Belgium in 1990. The 16th conference was held in the Canary Islands, Spain. In 2018, a Professional Board for Gas Geochemistry was set up under the Chinese Society for Mineralogy, Petrology and Geochemistry.
Each edition of ICGG was followed by publication of most relevant papers in scientific international journals in special issues. This approach will be followed by local meetings as well.
