[Geoinfo] Re: ESF-IGCP Summer School on Modelling Thermochronology Data

[Victor Hugo Garcia]

> We are organising a Summer School on Modelling Thermochronology Data (with
> emphasis on low-temperature FT and (U-Th)/He methods, thermal modelling
> and
> inversion) in Aussois, France, September 20-23.
>
> The school is sponsored by the European Science Foundation “Topo-Europe”
> Programme and the International Geoscience Programme Project IGCP-543
> “Low-temperature thermochronology and its applications”.
>
> Invited speakers at the school will teach both lectures and practical
> classes. Participants are required to bring their own laptop computer, on
> which modelling software will be installed during the school. Reading
> material will be circulated beforehand, so all participants can come to
> the
> summer school prepared and get the most out of it. The following speakers

> (Géosciences Rennes), Frédéric Herman (ETH Zürich).

> Preliminary programme:
>
> Sunday 20/09 – p.m.: Arrival of participants, ice-breaker and dinner.
> Monday 21/09 – a.m.: Forward and inverse models of fission-track ages and
> length distributions (lecture and practical class; R. Ketcham).
> Monday 21/09 – p.m.: Modelling spatially distributed data (lecture and
> practical class; K. Gallagher).
> Tuesday 22/09 – all day: 3-D thermal modelling and predicting
> thermochronological ages (lectures and practical classes; J. Braun).
> Wednesday 23/09 – a.m.: Inverting thermochronological data to extract
> exhumation and relief histories (lecture and practical class; F. Herman).
> Wednesday 23/09 – p.m.: Closure and departure of participants
>
> Venue:
>
> The school will be held at the Centre Paul Langevin, a holiday and
> congress
> centre of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) located
> in
> Aussois (French Alps). The village of Aussois is located near Modane on
> the
> French-Italian border, easily accessible by rail (including fast train
> connections to Paris, Lyon and Turin) and close to major airports (Geneva,
> Lyon, Turin, Milan). A minibus shuttle service will be available between

> Registration, costs and sponsoring:
>
> The summer school can accommodate 50 students. Priority will be given to
> PhD
> students and postdocs associated with Topo-Europe collaborative research
> projects, but we expect that we can accommodate 20-30 outside students.
> Thanks to the sponsoring by ESF, we are able to charge only the cost for
> accommodation and meals at the centre, which will be € 400,-  per
> participant (including full board from Sunday evening to Wednesday lunch).

> To register for the Summer school or for further information, email Peter
> van der Beek (pvdbeek en ujf-grenoble.fr). IGCP will cover travel expenses
