Hi all, You, or some of your students, may be interested in a short course on low-temperature thermochronology offered by the Finnish Doctoral Programme in Geosciences October 23-27 at the University of Helsinki. We have space for a handful of international PhD students to join us for the course, and would be very pleased to have some international visitors. There are no course fees, but travel and lodging arrangements will need to be arranged by participants from outside Finland. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact myself ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) or Prof. Ilmo Kukkonen ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>). Details of the course are below. Best, Dave Short course on low-temperature thermochronology Dates and location October 23-27, 2017, Department of Geosciences and Geography, University of Helsinki Instructors Cécile Gautheron, Department of Earth Sciences, Paris-Sud University, France Christoph Glotzbach, Department of Geosciences, University of Tübingen, Germany Clare Warren, School of Environment, Earth & Ecosystem Sciences, The Open University, U.K. with contributions from Ilmo Kukkonen and David Whipp, University of Helsinki Target audience Doctoral students (The course is open to international PhD students and local MSc students provided there is space) Overview Low-temperature thermochronology is a geochronological method based on the temperature-sensitive retention of a radiogenically produced daughter product in mineral crystals. It is widely used to quantify long-term rates of tectonic and erosional processes in mountainous regions, but can also be applied to study erosional processes in ancient settings. In this course you will learn the fundamental concepts of thermochronology and its applications, be introduced to common mineral dating systems by European experts in thermochronology, and work with numerical tools for analyzing and interpreting thermochronometer data. Course contents - Basic concepts of low-temperature thermochronology - Crustal thermal processes - Common thermochronometer systems (40Ar/39Ar, Fission-track, (U-Th)/He) - Numerical modelling using Pecube Registration Register online at https://goo.gl/U2Dmv3 Questions?
