The course will be held at the Geozentrum in Frankfurt am Main with talks and discussion between 10:00h and 18:00h CET. Please note: the short course will start one day later as previously announced.
FIERCE in cooperation with SPP-1833 Building a Habitable Earth runs a short course on the analysis of stable and radiogenic isotopes (e.g., Li, B, Sr, Mo, Nd, Hf, W, U-Pb, U-Th) as well as trace elements in rocks and minerals by laser ablation and solution-based ICP-MS and SIMS. Presentations comprise technical aspects of instrumentation, methods, and a wide range of applications with an emphasis on geochronology, processes on the early Earth and in the solar system, composition and evolution of oceans and the continental crust.
Requirements: The course is designed for PhD students/post-docs with existing basic knowledge on isotope geology and is given as individual lectures by experts in the field. Interested MSc students are, however, also welcome.
Speakers: Robert Anczkiewicz, Sonja Aulbach, Jan Fietzke, Axel Gerdes, Marcel Guillong, Dominik Hezel, Horst Marschall, Wolfgang Müller, Carsten Münker, Hans-Michael Seitz, and Frank Wombacher.
