The school is addressed to master and PhD - students as well as postdoctoral researchers, whose main scientific topics concern the geochemistry of volcanoes. Internationally renowned experts will support students in a unique field experience in a spectacular volcanic scenery and will provide them the opportunity to experiment and evaluate new protocols and techniques used on volcanic fluid emissions.
Information concerning the Training School, along with application instructions and selection criteria are detailed below:
Location and Dates
The school will be held at the Osservatorio Vulcanologico Pizzi Deneri (2,850 m a.s.l.) in Mt. Etna (Italy) from 1 to 6 of August 2016.
Program
Classical and innovating direct sampling and remote sensing techniques are going to be presented during the field excursions and lessons that will take place on a daily basis. The detailed program is available on the website: https://sites.google.com/site/etnapizzideneri/program.
Participation fee
The cost of the workshop is 150 €, which includes fees, accommodation (5 nights), meals and transportation (Catania - observatory and back; field activities). The participation fee does not cover travel expenses to Catania (Italy).
Selection criteria
