We are pleased to announce the Second International Short Course on “Application of Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) to Earth Sciences” that will be held in Perugia, Italy, from 07 to 09 June 2017.
Please find below some additional information:
Description
The course is based on the practical use of LA-ICP-MS, data reduction and interpretation. Applicants will be trained in the “hands-on” operation equipment, using the two LA-ICP-MS instruments available at the Petro-Volcanology Research Group (see https://goo.gl/d25N85 for further technical information). A selected number of applicants will have the opportunity to analyze their data, free of charge, in the six months following the short course. Selection will be based on the submission of a brief research proposal. In addition, the best poster presentation will be awarded with an IOLITE license. The course is organized by the Petro-Volcanology Research Group at Department of Physics and Geology (University of Perugia) with the support of Teledyne Technologies Inc., Thermo Fisher Scientific and IoliteTM.
Location and Dates
Department of Physics and Geology, University of Perugia, Italy - June, 07-09, 2017.
Target
The workshop targets PhD students and advanced Master students, as well as Postdoctoral candidates and senior scientists. A series of lectures will be provided on the application of LA-ICP-MS in Earth Sciences.
Free access to the LA-ICP-MS analytical facility
We offer the opportunity for Ph.D. students and Early Career Scientists (Ph.D. degree obtained no longer than six years ago) to present a short (max 2 A4 pages) proposal to get free access to our LA-ICP-MS facility for a maximum of 3 days. Please note that we will cover LA-ICP-MS analytical costs but not the costs related to accommodation.
The scientific committee will evaluate proposals, and use of the LA-ICP-MS facility will be awarded to the best three submissions. The PVRG facility will support the awarded researchers during data acquisition, reduction and interpretation. Proposals focused on petrological and volcanological applications are particularly encouraged. The awarded attendees are asked to provide an oral presentation during the short course.
IOLITE Poster Award
The participants are invited to prepare a poster presentation concerning their current studies emphasizing how LA-ICP-MS is or could be used to improve the currency of the obtained results. The best poster presentation will be awarded with an IOLITE 3 license.
Registration (free of charge)
Participants are kindly requested to register for the workshop by sending an e-mail to Maurizio Petrelli (maurizio.petrelli@unipg.it ).
The deadline for both registration and submission of proposals for the access to the LA-ICP-MS facility is May 1, 2017.
Please feel free to pass the information to others who also might have interesting results on accessory minerals to report.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
