MARC VIII Proceedings: Introduction

摘要

The Eighth International Conference on Methods and Applications of Radioanalytical Chemistry (MARC VIII) was held at the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort, Kona, Hawaii, April 5–10, 2009, and was attended by 240 scientists representing 26 countries. A strong technical program, excellent new venue, and numerous social events led to another success in the MARC series of conferences. Since MARC I in 1987, this series of conferences has become the major international forum for presenting advances in radioanalytical chemistry and its applications, despite the somewhat remote location for many participants. The keen foresight of the MARC founding organizers to create a topical meeting dedicated to all aspects of radioanalytical chemistry was highlighted in MARC VIII with sessions covering a broad range of both long-standing and emerging technical areas.
