Where: Prague - Charles University
When: 20-23 July 2009

Introduction

As part of the Granulites and Granulites 2009 conference, a post conference short course on "Calculating Metamorphic Mineral Equilibria" will be given by Roger Powell, Tim Holland and Richard White at the Charles University, Prague on July 20 - 23, 2009. The course will involve lectures and practical exercises using thermocalc, concentrating on the construction of pseudosections. The course begins in the morning of July 20, so participants should arrive in Prague on the evening of July 19. The course runs until the evening of July 23.

The course will be held in the lecture theatre of the Institute of petrology and structural geology which can hold about 30 - 40 people. Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop as there is a limited number of computers. It is envisioned that laboratory exercises will be completed by participants working in pairs.
