International School of Isotope Geology
"Frontiers in petrogenesis and magmatology, and applications to archaeometry and environmental sciences"
Verbania Pallanza (VB, Italy), 18-22 June 2007
We invite applications from PhD students and young researchers to the "International School of Isotope Geology, frontiers in petrogenesis and magmatology, and applications to archaeometry and environmental sciences" (http://simp.dst.unipi.it/ScuolaGNP2007/)
Period: June 17 (arrival) - June 22, 2007 (departure)
Venue: Hotel Castagnola, Verbania-Pallanza, Italy (http://www.hotelcastagnola.it/)
Aims: The school aims to provide cultural and scientific background on the applications of Isotope Science to geology, archaeometry and environmental sciences. Beside traditional isotopes used in geosciences (e.g., Sr, Nd, Pb, U/Th), new isotope systematics (e.g. Al, Mg, Fe, Ca, Cr, Li) will be also addressed. ThermoScientific and GVI experts will give introductions to mass spectrometry equipments.
Program: The scientific program is organized in five thematic days. An afternoon poster session is planned to enable the participants to present and discuss their research topics and results.
Topics covered in the School will include: Early solar-system chronology using short-lived isotopes, Recent developments in SIMS-based isotope studies, Isotopic evolution and state of heterogeneity of the mantle, Use of isotopes in tracking geodynamic processes on a global scale, Timescales of magma chamber processes by short-lived U-series, In situ isotopic determination to track volcanic processes, Dating of metamorphic crystallization and cooling ages, In-situ Ar/Ar and U/Pb dating, Isotopes in tracking paleoclimate, cultural heritage, and the geographical provenance of food.
