Carbon forms, paths, and processes in the Earth
15-20 October 2017 – Villa del Grumello, Como, Italy
PhD School of Milano Bicocca
The international School will present the state of the art of research studying the forms, the paths and the processes of Carbon in the Earth, in order to address the long-term fate of Carbon on the planet. The School will consist of a series of invited lectures, practical sessions on cutting-edge techniques, and contributions from participants. This 5-days School is intended to bring together scientists, Ph.D. students and Post-Docs with broad international representation in geochemistry, petrology, experimental mineralogy and petrology, materials science, thermodynamics, volcanology, geodynamics, and geophysics.
The School will provide regular CFU corresponding to 40 hours.
