Volcanic Processes, Deposits, Geology and Resources Short Course

This short course combines lectures, field days and practical instruction in which participants gain experience in the classification and interpretation of modern and ancient volcanic rocks, and relationships to mineralisation and ore deposits.

WHO IS THE COURSE FOR

• Those who need to understand physical volcanic eruption and emplacement processes, volcanic rock textures, the identification of rock types and their emplacement origins, facies and stratigraphic architecture of volcanic successions, associated sedimentary host rocks, and sub-volcanic intrusions, alteration effects, rock unit relationships and timing.
• Industry geologists/geoscientists
• Government geologists/geoscientists
• Research scientists and students
• Academics

COURSE OVERVIEW

• 3 days of lectures on volcanic and associated sedimentary processes, and relevance to ore deposits
• 2 outstanding field days comparing the products, facies associations and stratigraphic relations of subaerial and subaqueous volcanic and associated turbidite and red bed sediments
• Practical work based on an extremely comprehensive display of rock specimens and textures, thin sections, posters and maps
• All parts of this course incorporate the latest concepts applied to the interpretation of modern and ancient volcanic settings and successions, and relevance to mineralisation.
• The course fee includes all accommodation and meals for the week, except during travel to and from the course on the first and last days.
