************************************ Short Course on Fluids in the Earth November 6-10th, 2006 Università di Napoli Federico II Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra Via Mezzocannone 8, 80134 Napoli, Italy ************************************ FOR INFORMATIONS CONTACT: Dr LUCA FEDELE - lufedele@xxxxxxxx ************************************ Dear All, The Department of Earth Sciences of the University Federico II in Naples (Italy), is pleased to announce that in the framework of the Internalization of the University System sponsored by MIUR (Italian Ministry for University and Research), a free Short Course will be held in Naples from November 6 to 10, 2006. It will be presented by Prof. Robert Bodnar of the Department of Geosciences of Virginia Tech (Blacksburg, Virginia), and it will benefit of contributions by R. A. Ayuso (U. S. Geol. Survey, Reston, VA, USA) , H. E. Belkin (U. S. Geol. Survey, Reston, VA, USA), B. De Vivo (Univ. di Napoli Federico II, Italy), M.L. Frezzotti (Univ. di Siena, Italy), and A. Lima (Univ. di Napoli Federico II, Italy). Participants will receive a Certificate. Albeit the Short Course is free, participants will have to provide by themselves for travel and lodging. Please spread the news and for any inquiry contact Dr. Luca Fedele (lufedele@xxxxxxxx).

Programme: November 6th, 2006: The Geohydrologic Cycle (R. J. Bodnar: 4 hours) The whole Earth system can be divided into the following reservoirs for H2O: atmosphere, biosphere, oceans, surface water, groundwater, glaciers and polar ice, continental crust, oceanic crust, upper mantle, transition zone, lower mantle and core. The amount of H2O contained in each of these reservoirs will be discussed, as well as the fluxes of H2O between reservoirs and residence times for H2O in the different reservoirs. De Vivo B. (1 hour): A hydrothermal model for ground movements (bradyseism) at Campi Flegrei, Italy. November 7th, 2006: The role of fluids and structural and tectonic processes (R. J. Bodnar: 2 hours) Fluids play an important role in the structural and tectonic processes by reducing the strength or rocks and minerals. In turn, both large and small-scale structures control fluid flow in the Earth?s crust. Several examples of the role of fluids in crustal deformation will be discussed. Lima A.(1 hour): Fluid and melt inclusions study from ejected Mt. Somma-Vesuvius nodules: Constraints on the evolution of the magmatic system. November 7th, 2006: Fluids in sedimentary basins (R. J. Bodnar: 2 hours) As sediments are deposited and compacted during basin evolution, fluids of varying composition are generated and expelled from sediments during diagenesis. The compositions of fluids in sedimentary basins and origin of basinal brines will be discussed. November 8th, 2006: Fluids in volcanic systems (R. J. Bodnar: 4 hours) Over the past several years much progress has been made in understanding the evolution of magmatic systems associated with active volcanoes. Information that is available from studies of melt and fluid inclusions in this environment will be discussed. Belkin H.E. (1 hour): Geochemical comparison between the Campanian ignimbrite and the older ignimbrites. November 9th, 2006: Fluids in magmatic ? hydrothermal ore deposits (R. J. Bodnar: 4 hours) Fluids in magmatic ? hydrothermal systems transport and deposit metals to generate economic mineral deposits. Our current understanding of the role of fluids in the ore forming process will be summarized. Frezzotti M.L (1 hour): The plumbing system of active volcanoes as revealed by fluid inclusion geo-barometry and petrology. November 10th, 2006: Fluid and melt inclusions (R. J. Bodnar: 4 hours) Techniques, analytical problems and applications to plutonic and volcanic environments, Ayuso R.A. (1 hour): Somma-Vesuvius: review of geochemical and Sr, Nd, Pb and O isotope data. ******************************************* Luca Fedele PhD Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra Università Federico II - Napoli - Italia Via Mezzocannone 8 - 80134 Napoli phone: +39-081-2535064 mobile: +39-338-7706232 Fax +39-081-2535070 http://www.webalice.it/r.fedele3/index.htm ******************************************* ============================================================== To unsubscribe from the volcano list, send the message: signoff volcano to: listserv@xxxxxxx, or write to: volcano-request@xxxxxxxx To contribute to the volcano list, send your message to: volcano@xxxxxxxx Please do not send attachments. ==============================================================
