THERMOCALC Workshop — Calculating
Metamorphic Phase Equilibria
Roger Powell (with assistance from Chris Carson, Yale University) will
give a 2.5-day THERMOCALC Workshop immediately prior to the Goldschmidt
Conference. You do not have to attend the Goldschmidt Conference to participate
in this informal workshop. The workshop will run all day on May 17 and
18, and on the morning of May 19, 2001, on the campus at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. Following the workshop, transportation from the
Virginia Tech campus to The Homestead will be arranged for Goldschmidt
