************************************************ From: Luca Fedele <lfedele@xxxxxx> ************************************************ Dear All, Please find included the program for the: 2008 - Short Course on Fluids in the Earth Presented by R. J. Bodnar - Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA, U.S.A. J. Webster - (American Museum Natural History, N.Y., USA) With additional Seminars by: B. De Vivo and A. Lima - (Univ. di Napoli Federico II, Italy) The Course will be held on October 20-24th, 2008 at: Università di Napoli Federico II Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra Via Mezzocannone 8, 80134 Napoli, Italy For detailed informations please contact: Prof. B. De Vivo – bdevivo@xxxxxxxx The course is free for all participants, however for organizational purposes it is necessary for each participant to contact Prof. De Vivo in advance. At the end of the course each participant will receive a certificate of attendance. Spread the news to everybody who might be interested!! Thanks Sincerely Luca Fedele ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Programme Monday - October 20th, 2008 The Geohydrologic Cycle (Bodnar; 2 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. Introduction to fluid inclusions and fluid phase equilibria (Bodnar; 5 hours) Identification, analysis and application of fluid inclusions to geologic problems. Tuesday – October 21th, 2008 The role of fluids and structural and tectonic processes (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. Fluids in sedimentary basins, including Mississippi Valley-type deposits (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. Metamorphic and Mantle Fluids (Bodnar; 2 hours) Introduction to melt inclusions (Webster; 2 hours) Wednesday – October 22nd, 2008 Physics and Thermodynamics of Melt-Volatile Systems (Webster; 6 hours) Over the past several years much progress has been made in understanding the evolution of volatile-rich magmatic systems associated with active volcanoes. This module will provide an overview of the "Burnham Model" for crystallization of hydrous magmas. Application of fluid and melt inclusions at Vesuvius (De Vivo; 1 hours) Thursday - October 23rd, 2008 Fluids in magmatic – hydrothermal ore deposits (Bodnar; 3 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. Applications of melt and fluid inclusions in volcanology and igneous petrogenesis (Webster; 3 hours) Application of fluid and melt inclusions at Campi Flegrei (De Vivo; 1 hours) Friday - October 24th, 2008 Exam on material covered in the short course (2 hours) ============================================================== 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. ==============================================================
