First Announcement: Workshop on “Shock metamorphism in terrestrial and extra-terrestrial rocks”
Tentative dates: June 24 – July 2, 2017
Location: Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia
Purpose and Scope
We invite researchers of all backgrounds who share a common interest in studying shock effects in geologic media and impact-related processes in the solar system. This multi-disciplinary workshop is aimed at bringing together different research aspects, from the state-of-the-art laboratory methodologies in terrestrial and extra-terrestrial rock, mineral and meteorite sample analysis, to numerical modelling and laboratory experiments of shock-wave progression in geologic and planetary analogue materials.
Topical sessions include:
– Terrestrial shocked rocks
– Meteorites
– Numerical impact modelling
– Laboratory impact experiments
This in our first announcement, and more info is to follow.
