The Summer School is primarily intended
for Nordic
PhD students.
Considering
the many decades of research into the geology of the NE Atlantic, its
bordering continental
margins, the oceanic crust, deep earth processes, basins/petroleum exploration
and recent volcanism in Iceland, as well as recent advances made within the framework of
NAG-TEC, timing is right for an interdisciplinary summer
school on this theme gathering experts and young researchers from diverse
fields of geosciences to train, learn and exchange state-of-the-art
observations, methodology and theory. The school will span from lectures on
the Palaeogene North Atlantic Igneous Province, through the tectonic evolution
of the oceanic crust to development of passive margins and basins, to lessons
from more recent tectono-magmatic
progression in
the Neogene. We
seek to establish a program that will encompass lecturers from diverse
disciplines to address the multitude of processes active (from
deep Earth to crustal accretion), with balanced contributions from
geophysics, petrology, structural geology, geochronology, stratigraphy and
geodynamics.
Set up:
The
school will be divided into lecture sessions alternating with field
days, tying the theoretical
lectures to features observable in the dynamic geological environment in
Iceland. The language of the school is English. All participants are required
to submit a short abstract and prepare a poster on their specific research
activity related to the school theme.
Cost:
Nordic students pay 300 Euro + own airfare to and from Iceland.
International students pay 1000 Euro + own airfare to and from Iceland.
The participation fee covers all accommodation, meals and field trips.
Last chance to apply is MAY 13TH - send email including abstract on own research to Rikke@xxxxx
Applicants will receive final notice on their participation on May 16th!
