In 2017 the 7th international DTTG workshop on "Qualitative and quantitative analysis of clays and clay minerals" will take place from Monday February 20th to Friday February 24th 2017 at the University of Greifswald. The workshop focuses on the needs of graduate students in the field of clay science. The workshop is also open for scientists and people working in industry who are interested in clay science. Content of the workshop, taught completely in English, will include topical lectures on theory as well as practical laboratory exercises. Clay scientists from Germany and Switzerland (listed below) will cover the most important analytical tools needed to study clay minerals. This year a day focused on electron microscopy will be included. The program will also includes one day of Rietveld modelling of XRD patterns, and other methods/topics such as FTIR, CEC, STA, chemistry of clay minerals, stable and radiogenic isotopes, and pore investigations.
The number of participants is limited to 15. Therefore you are asked to submit your application by e-mail to Grathoffuni-greifswaldde with a short description of your field of work, status (student etc.) together with a short statement about your motivation to participate in the workshop.
