Summer school content
Magmatic Processes and Deposits in the NE Atlantic:
Iceland represents a unique opportunity to study large-volume basaltic deposits and processes. This research school will focus on the understanding of volcanic rifted margins by a combination of lectures and field observations during a nine-day excursion in eastern and southern Iceland. The course will have a special attention on how the geology of Iceland can be used to understand the Vøring and Møre volcanic rifted margins, recently drilled by IODP Expedition 396.
Lecturers:
Sverre Planke, Ritske Sipke Huismans, Jan Inge Faleide, Steffi Burchardt, Morgan Jones, Christian Tegner, Rikke Pedersen
