Peralk-Carb 2011
Information
This workshop, to be held during 16.-18. June 2011 at the Institut für Geowissenschaften, Universität Tübingen, Southern Germany, will address the generation and evolution of peralkaline rocks and carbonatites from their source to the last stages of their crystallization (fenitization, hydrothermal processes) with an additional emphasis on their economic potential. A special session will be devoted to the alkaline rocks and carbonatites of the Gregory Rift in East Africa. Geologists (economic, structural...), petrologists and geochemists are welcome to contribute with general or with case studies, be they based on experiments or field studies.
The following distinguished speakers have already agreed to present a talk:
Prof. T. Andersen, Oslo, Norway.
Prof. A. Chakhmouradian, Manitoba, Canada.
Dr. A. Demény, Budapest, Hungary.
Prof. S. Foley, Mainz, Germany.
