SEPTEMBER 19TH-21ST, 2013
The Barcelona SGA Student Chapter organizes the Second BCN SGA Student Chapter Workshop.
This year, the activity will focus on Mineral
deposits related to acid magmatism.
It is addressed to students and young
researchers interested in this type of ore deposits, as well as to professors,
researchers and professional geologists who want to increase their knowledge
and/or be up to date of the latest research on this topic. Therefore, the aim
of this workshop is to provide an advanced overview of mineral deposits related
to acid magmatism, including mineralogy, textures, petrology, geochemistry, and
economic interest of these deposits.
This workshop includes an introductory lecture
entitled “_Felsic magmatism and hydrothermal systems_” given by Dr. Bernd
Lehmann and a one-day session [1 http://www.bcn-sga.cat/workshops/program] of lectures given by international
specialists on this topic.
In addition, a one-day field trip to the Conca
de Barberà area is prepared for Saturday 21th, leaded by Dr. Joan Carles
Melgarejo. A few kilometres from the city of Barcelona, this zone is
characterised by having plenty of interesting ore deposits outcrops, such as quartz-wolfram
veins in hercynian granitoids, polymetallic sulphide mineralisations
(Pb-Zn-Cu-Au-PGE-Bi-Te-As-Ni-Co-V-Cr), barite veins and XVIth century alum
mines. Mineralogical and petrographical aspects of the ores and host rocks will
be combined with geochemistry, fluid inclusion data and large-scale tectonics,
in order to have a broad view of the visited ore deposits and their geological
setting.
This workshop is open to everyone and
international students are very welcome. Although there is no fee for the
participation to the workshop, a pre-registration is required. The registration
form is atached to this e-mail, and must be sent to before SEPTEMBER 15TH.
Attendance to the field trip is 10 EUR for SGA student members and 20 EUR for
non-members in order to cover transport expenses. Admittance to the field trip
is limited to 25 participants (strictly by the order of registration), so register
as soon as possible!
There is an accommodation program for students,
which consists on places offered by some members of the Barcelona SGA Student
Chapter in their student or family flats to accommodate foreign students for
free. If you are interested in this option, please write us an e-mail at student.chapter.ub.sga@gmail.com with "student accommodation program"
as subject.
Further information about this activity will be
published soon at http://bcn-sga.cat/workshops. Do not hesitate to contact us at: student.chapter.ub.sga@gmail.com.

regards,
THE BCN-SGA STUDENT CHAPTER COUNCIL
