Date: 11-13 February 2020
Location: Budapest, Hungary
The registration is open until 5th February 2020.
Description of the course
The course aims to review the current state of the art in the application of isotope geochemistry for the understanding of processes in hydrothermal systems. Lectures will focus on the traditional and new, cutting edge instrumentation of analyses, as well as the current developments and future perspectives of isotope geochemistry in fluid-rock systems. The presentations will be divided between trace element analyses, radioactive elements for geochronological studies and radiogenic elements as conservative isotope tracers. The use of traditional and non-traditional stable isotope tracers in understanding mineralization processes will also be discussed. Tracking of sources of fluids and their components, and determination of ages of mineralization processes will be presented and supported with various case studies.
Lecturers:
Hugh O`Brien, Yann Lahaye and Ferenc Molnár (Geological Survey of Finland)
Invited lecturers:
Holly Stein (Colorado State University and University of Oslo, Norway)
Attila Demény and Zoltán Pécskay (Hungarian Academy of Sciences)
