Extension of the Research Unit for three more years
We are excited to announce that the German Science Foundation (DFG) is funding the second round of the Research Unit “Diffusion Chronometry of Magmatic Systems” (FOR 2881) for three more years. Watch out for new projects and job opportunities. More details coming soon …
Announcement of a Workshop
We would like to draw your attention to a short course on the
Application of diffusion studies to the determination of timescales in geochemistry and petrology (diffusion chronometry / geospeedometry)
Institut für Geologie, Mineralogie und Geophysik
Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany
27-31 March 2023
The number of participants is limited to ca. 40 persons on a first come first serve basis. Interested participants can express intention to register by sending an email containing a brief paragraph describing their background / reasons for wanting to participate to: ralf.dohmen@rub.de
