Announcement : Graduate student opportunity:
ISES Summer School: Dates, Rates, and States
Dates: July 24-July 31, 2008 Rates : deadline in 3 weeks States : Colorado
We invite applications for the 2008 Integrated Solid Earth Sciences (ISES) Summer School on Dates,
Rates, and States (July 24-31). The interdisciplinary graduate course will focus on the rates at
which tectonic processes occur, the dates that constrain those rates, and the implications for
deformation, erosion, magmatism, material properties, etc. (states). All graduate students are
encouraged to apply, including international students. Costs of enrollment,
accommodation/partial board, and ground transportation from the Colorado Springs airport for
22 selected participants will be paid by ISES. Participants are responsible for round-trip airfare
to/from the School.
Information about the School and the on line application can be accessed via the summer school
page: http://acad.coloradocollege.edu/dept/gy/ises/ISESSummerProgram2008.php. The
application deadline is April 20, 2008, and admission decisions will be made on/near May 1,
2008.
The 7-day workshop for graduate students will focus upon diverse aspects of dating tectonic
processes, the rates at which these processes occur, and material responses. The Faculty of the
School are active researchers in diverse geological disciplines who will represent innovative
approaches to the question of Dates, Rates, and States using lectures, practical exercises, and
field trips. Topics to be addressed include: Low temperature thermochronology, geodesy,
geomorphology, numerical modeling, faulting, geochemistry, metamorphic petrology, remote
sensing, and geodynamics.
The Faculty of the School this year are:
Bodo Bookhagen, University of California - Santa Barbara
Jean Braun, University of Rennes, France
Michele Cooke, University of Massachusetts
Pete Reiners, University of Arizona
John C. Weber, Grand Valley State University
Mike Williams, University of Massachusetts
Subjects to be covered in the programme can be reviewed at http://acad.coloradocollege.edu/dept/gy/ises/ISESDaybyDaySchedule2008.php; the page is being
updated frequently. Coordinators for the School are Basil Tikoff, University of Wisconsin, and
Christine Siddoway, Colorado College.
Funded by the National Science Foundation, the ISES summer schools bring together U.S. and
international graduate students for a week of intellectual engagement and applied work on a
multidisciplinary theme that in most instances is too integrative to be taught within a single
university department. One aim is to provide students with a learning opportunity that involves
actual experiments, data analysis, and hands-on involvement with the subject, guided by
professionals who have developed and/or are using emerging technologies and relevant
investigation tools to get at this year's theme of "Dates, Rates, and States." An auxiliary subject of
the Schools is the transition from graduate school to professional life, offering students
perspective on development of a research program, publications schedules, funding
opportunities, and undertaking teaching/mentoring duties in academic positions.
