General information
The ECORD Summer School on “Ocean crust processes: magma, faults, fluxes and life” 2015 will take place from 31 August to 11 September 2015 at the MARUM – Center for Marine Environmental Sciences, Bremen University, Germany. The major goal is to bring PhD students and young Postdocs in touch with IODP at an early stage of their career, inform them about the actual research within this international scientific program, and to prepare them for future participations in IODP expeditions.
Such training will be achieved by taking the summer school participants on a “virtual ship” where they get familiarized with a wide spectrum of state-of-the-art analytical technologies and core description methods according to the high standards on IODP expeditions. In addition, the thematic topic of the summer school "Ocean crust processes: magma, faults, fluxes and life" will be reviewed by various scientific lectures by the leading experts in the field.
This summer school will combine lab exercises on IODP-style shipboard methodologies ("virtual ship") as well as interactive lectures by world-leading scientists in the field of mid-ocean ridge research. Participation will prepare you for future involvement in IODP and for research work on mid-ocean ridge processes. The summer school will take advantage of the unique and integrated facilities offered by the IODP Bremen Core Repository and the MARUM laboratories.
The weekend between the first and the second week will give the participants the possibility to join a field trip on Saturday 5 September 2015. During the Summer School the participants will have the possibility to give a short presentation introducing their own research work. Summer school flyer.
