Dear all,
I would like to draw your attention
to the following short course:
************************************************************
International Quality Network Potsdam University
(Germany)
Short
Course: Crustal growth episodes in time and space - geological,
geochemical and geophysical features and
characteristics.
As part of
the Curriculum of the Center for Graduate Studies of the DAAD
(International Quality Network; IQN
http://www.uni-potsdam.de/u/iqn/ ) at the University of Potsdam we
are running a short course of lectures and practicals on the theme:
" Crustal growth episodes in time and space - geological,
geochemical and geophysical features and characteristics".
The course will take place in Potsdam, Germany, from 24-26 November
2003 (Monday to Wednesday). The course will be restricted to about 20
advanced level undergraduate students, post graduate students or
researchers working in the fields of petrology, geodynamics and
geochemistry. Places will be allocated on a first come-first served
basis: if you are interested then apply
immediately!
Speakers include:
Prof. Suzanne Mahlburg Kay and Prof. Robert W.
Kay (Cornell University)
Prof. Patrick O'Brien, Dr. Andreas Möller, Dr. Martin Timmerman
(University of Potsdam)
Prof. Onno Oncken, Dr. Robert Trumbull (GeoForschungsZentrum
Potsdam)
The main subject areas will be:
Magmatic processes: geochemical evidence. Examples from S America,
Namibia and Kola
Crustal growth stages: information from geochronological studies.
Plate tectonics: ancient and modern.
Recycling of crust: Aleutian example. Lower crust evolution as deduced
from xenoliths
Rifting, Delamination, Collision: what are they and how can they be
recognised?
Imaging young or active regions of crustal growth: geophysical
aspects.
Implications and constraints on tectonic and magmatic processes from
lithosphere-scale modelling.
Other themes and speakers are still in negotiation.
There is no course fee. However, participants must pay for their own
travel and accommodation. We can give advice about affordable
accommodation.
If you are interested in attending or require information then do not
