2020 Summer School
“Metamorphosis of Metamorphism”
The first international summer school on dis-equilibrium processes in rocks that will be held at the University of Pavia.
new date: 12th – 17th July 2021
We hope that you and your families are safe and well in this particular moment that is affecting everyone.
Given the recent evolution of the covid-19 outbreak worldwide we decided postpone the school by 1 year to the week after Goldschmidt 2021
So please update and check your commitments for the week 12-17 July 2021.
In this difficult moment we thank you all for your effort, enthusiasm and for your kind emails of these days.
We know is though period for some of us being away from parts of our families sometimes spread around the world but we can make it and as scientists I believe is our duty to guide people in doing the right thing and not underestimate the effects of this outbreak.
Thanks again and be safe! Wishing you all the best we hope to see you all next year in Pavia
At the moment we do not foresee any change in the program for the school here below
The school will open with a brief overview of the theoretical background required for the understanding of the entire school. After the introduction the school will cover 5 high impact topics: mechanical equilibrium barometry; stress driven reactions; fluid rock interactions; seismicity and fault rocks.
23 leading scientists in their fields will give lectures and hands on practical courses as in the detailed program here below:
