4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 From: Wendy Bohrson <bohrson@xxxxxxxxx> Colleagues, We are pleased to invite you to register (by July 1) for our online workshop, Designing and Executing a Computational Petrology Research Project using Rhyolite-MELTS & Magma Chamber Simulator (MCS). Key aspects of the workshop are below, and please go to https://conf.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/2024/meetingapp.cgi/Session/6308 <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://conf.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/2024/meetingapp.cgi/Session/6308__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!ZHMmwKOywt6qtIEks6WLheCsmi5qOBqxMPFH3oFwcwaIa7d7uwI6vINjd0Yo6hwmM-ZhOy8AjGfxw0v5s6etNr_8YQ$> for more information. This workshop will provide strategies and techniques for designing and executing computational petrology research projects and will engage participants in using software called Rhyolite-MELTS and the Magma Chamber Simulator (MCS) to address questions about open system magma evolution. Participants will: · Be introduced to petrologic and geochemical questions that can be addressed by computational tools such as Rhyolite-MELTS and MCS. · Be presented with case studies that utilize these computational tools to address petrologic questions. · Be introduced to computational research design strategies and data management techniques. · Learn the limits of thermodynamic databases and the functionality of computational methods when applied to natural systems. · Collaborate and discuss strategies to apply these techniques to petrologic scenarios provided by the conveners. · Have the opportunity to pose questions to MCS and Rhyolite-MELTS experts that will aid in the set-up of their computational projects. · Network and benefit from the experiences and expertise of other scientists. *Petrologists of all levels are encouraged to join the workshop!* If you need training on the use of these tools, we will provide Zoom sessions prior to the workshop, with dates to be determined. If you have already taken an MCS workshop or attended a MELTS short course, please consider joining us again for additional training on research project design and execution. The workshop will take place *Tuesday, 1st October and Wednesday, 2 October,* 08:00-13:30 MST/UTC-7 on both days. Cost: $85 US. Please reach out to Wendy Bohrson (bohrson@xxxxxxxxx) if you have questions. Best regards, Wendy Bohrson, Frank Spera, Jussi Heinonen, Valerie Strasser, Paula Antoshechkina <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://conf.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/2024/meetingapp.cgi/Person/29847__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!ZHMmwKOywt6qtIEks6WLheCsmi5qOBqxMPFH3oFwcwaIa7d7uwI6vINjd0Yo6hwmM-ZhOy8AjGfxw0v5s6cEZNON6w$>, Monike Distefano, Kieran Iles 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 ------------------------------
