Dear All,
A Training Programme entitled: "Intensive Course on Meteoritics Science:
from A to Z" (2nd circle) will be carried out by the The Center of
Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning (CCELL) of the Agricultural
University of Athens (AUA).
Scientific Coordinator and instructor of the training programme is Dr
Ioannis Baziotis, Associate Professor at the Department of Natural
Resources and Agricultural Engineering of Agricultural University of
Athens.
The Training Programme is provided exclusively in English in the
form of online
asynchronous (with one hour of live synchronous per week for comments,
Q&As etc.) learning and lasts 50 hours (2 ECTS units).
Trainees who successfully complete the programme receive a Certificate of
Education, which is issued by the *CCELL *of the AUA.
The Programme lasts 8 weeks and will begin on October 2024!!!
So, for those who are really interested, please hurry up with the
registration etc!
The Research of Ioannis Baziotis is spanned between the following fields
(among others):
-
Shock metamorphism and impact-related processes inferred from
Martian meteorites and ordinary chondrites
-
Petrology and Geochemistry of Martian meteorites
-
Petrology and Geochemistry of lunar meteorites and lunar soils
-
Petrology and geochemistry of mantle xenoliths
-
Mineralogy, Petrology and Geochemistry of high- and Ultra-high
pressure metamorphic rocks
Purpose of the Programme
The purpose of the programme is to introduce trainees to the science of
meteoritics, the characterization and evaluation processes of meteorites in
the field and the laboratory, and the equipment/tools used in this field.
This programme aims to teach the methodology of studying the minerals of
meteorites and why the science of geology is important for a deeper
understanding of the preservation processes of a meteorite specimen.
Additionally, the programme aims to provide the trainees with basic
knowledge of the formation and evolution of our solar system through the
knowledge gained from the science of meteoritics, the equipment required
for primary characterization of a sample (determining whether it is a
meteorite or not), and the documentation procedures for a potential
meteorite.
Programme necessity
This programme will be unique at the level that will be taught. Individuals
who participate will gain sufficient knowledge in the field of meteorite
recognition, which will help them “open up” and understand the meteorite
market in their country. They will acquire knowledge about the general
concept of what a meteorite is, when it is significant, and its value. This
will attract the interest of individuals from around the globe,
particularly from countries where the field of meteoritics is not widely
practiced.
Participation fee / Discount policy
The attendance fee is 700 euros and must be deposited before the
beginning of the Training Programme (the deadline for the submission of the
attendance fees is recorded in the acceptance letter addressed to the
trainee).
