************************************************************** From: Keith Putirka <kputirka@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ************************************************************** Dear All, Most of you are probably familiar with the Mineralogical Society of America's (MSA) "Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry" (RiMG) series. Frank Tepley and I are organizing a new short course and volume titled "Minerals, Inclusions and Volcanic Processes". The short course will take place the weekend prior to this year's fall AGU meeting in San Francisco (Dec. 13-14, 2008). The RiMG volume (#69) will be comprised of 16 chapters. Chapter titles (which also serve as short course topics) and authors (and speakers) are listed below. There is a discount for early registration (on or before 9/30/2008), and a very steep discount for student registrants. Further information about the short course and registration forms are available from the MSA web site: http://www.minsocam.org/ (look for "Short Courses Open"). We encourage you to attend the course. Please know that Frank and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. We hope to see you there. Sincerely, Keith Putirka CSU Fresno (kputirka@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) and Frank Tepley OSU (ftepley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) Chapter Titles and Authors (also Short Course Topics and Speakers) 1.
