Dear colleagues,
The Department of Geoscience at Aarhus University is offering a
two-week intensive Ph.D. course in Deep Earth Systems (Forging
links between petrology and geophysics) designed for students
interested in strengthening their background in thermodynamics,
phase equilibria, heat and mass transfer, continuum mechanics,
elasticity and viscoelastic theory, wave propagation, and rheology
important for integrating petrologic and geophysical (especially
seismological) observations, and modeling processes of the deep
earth. The course is designed to build a foundation of
understanding based on first-principles that links the constitution of
Earth materials to their stability, rheology and seismic properties,
and reinforces these concepts through exercises, critical reviews of
the literature and group projects.
This new Ph.D. course is team-taught by Aarhus faculty and invited
experts in petrology, geophysics/seismology and geodynamics.
There are no tuition or registration fees. Students are, however,
responsible for their own travel and accommodation costs. Upon
registration, local travel and accommodation details will be provided.
Registration closes on September 30th. Please refer to the course
Please distribute this announcement to your peers and students.
