description (by
Hamed Sanei)
The Joint
International Meeting of CSCOP, TSOP & ICCP will be held in
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
between August 19 to 25, 2007. The meeting focuses on the
unconventional petroleum systems & advances in organic petrology,
organic &
inorganic geochemistry (www.cscop-tsop-iccp-2007.com).
The meeting will include a symposium to
celebrate the work and contributions to coal science by Dr,. Fari
Goodarzi, Ph.D. , D.Sc., senior
Research Scientist with Natural Resources Canada (Geological Survey of
Canada-Calgary). During the
course of his long career in Coal Science, Dr. Goodarzi has supervised
twenty M.Sc. and Ph.D. students
working in the fields of Organic Petrology and Coal Geochemistry at the
Universities
of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, England and Alberta, Regina, Waterloo,
Western Ontario and Victoria where, he is an Adjunct Professor. He is
an editor of International
Journal of Coal Geology and Energy Sources and was
for many years, an editor of Fuel (1984-1988). He is
an expert to UNDP, past-president of the Canadian Society of Coal
Science and
Organic Petrology (CSCOP) and member of Canadian Geosciences Council
(1994-1999). He is
a recipient of the prestigious Hacquebard Award (CSCOP) and the
Theissen Medal
(ICCP). His early work was concerned with the optical properties of
carbonized and oxidized coal. In Canada, his research focused on the
organic petrology of coal and dispersed
organic matter in sediment, particularly characterization of bitumens,
chitinozans, graptolites and scolecodonts as their use as indicators of
source rock
maturity. He carried out thermal maturation studies in the Paleozoic of
Arctic Canada. His more recent work examines the geochemistry and trace
elements in coal and the environmental impact of coal-fired power
plants. He has
published over two hundred papers in refereed journals, fifty papers
(50) in GSC
publications, conference proceedings, one book and has edited six
journal volumes.
