WGIM

WORKING GROUP ON INCLUSIONS IN MINERALS

The objectives of WGIM is to bring mineral inclusion researchers together for scientific exchanges, promoting technological awareness and technology development in mineral inclusion researches, and therefore to support researches in related fields including but not limited to mineralogy, petrology, mineral deposit study, geochemistry, astrochemistry, tectonic geology, and petroleum geology, etc.

The WGIM was instituted in July 1986 during the 14^th General Meeting of the IMA at Stanford, California, USA. See the Historical development of WGIM by Zaolin Li (up to 2003)
