The first meeting, I RAGSU, was envisioned to probe into the geochemical nature of the processes occurring on the surface of the earth and took place at the city of Córdoba (Argentina), between the 27th and the 30th of September, 2009. The meeting was hosted by Argentina’s Academia Nacional de Ciencias (http://www.acad.uncor.edu/) and was jointly organized by the Academy and the Centro de Investigaciones en Ciencias de la Tierra (CICTERRA,  http://www.cicterra-conicet.gov.ar/) and the Centro de Investigaciones Geoquímicas y de Procesos de la Superfice (CIGeS,  http://www.efn.unc.edu.ar/investigacion/ciges/).Although organized by earth scientists, the goal was toassemble as many environmental scientists as possible (e.g., biologists, agronomists, chemists, geologists).
