This course presents an overview of the acquisition and interpretation of XCT data followed by hands-on training in 3D visualization and quantitative analysis of discrete geological features (e.g., lithic clasts, mineral grains, porphyroblasts, chondrules, pores) and fabrics using commercial software and freeware developed at UTCT ( http://www.ctlab.geo.utexas.edu/software/). This course is sponsored in part by NSF and funds may be available to help cover the cost of lodging and meals. There is no charge to attend. Because space is limited we will not be able to accommodate all applicants. Preference will be given to applicants who possess or are in the process of acquiring XCT data and have a demonstrated need for immediate application of the skills learned. Students will receive first priority. Participants are invited to bring their own XCT data, or to have specimens scanned (at a significant discount) at UTCT prior to the course. To apply please email an application statement (limit of ~300 words) to Dr. Romy Hanna (romy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) no later than *Friday, April 12th* that briefly outlines: 1) Relevant biographical information (including your academic affiliations and your status as student or faculty/staff); 2) The type of sample(s) that you wish to analyze and your research objectives; 3) Financial need, if any; and 4) Whether you will have XCT data available for use in the workshop ============================================================== Volcano Listserv is a collaborative venture among Arizona State University (ASU), Portland State University (PSU), the Global Volcanism Program (GVP) of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, and the International Association for Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI).
