Dates, Rates, and States

Integrated Solid Earth Sciences announces the 2008 topic of Dates, Rates, and States for the annual graduate summer school in Colorado. The interdisciplinary course will focus on the rates at which tectonic processes occur, the dates that constrain those rates, and the implications for deformation, erosion, magmatism, material properties, etc. (states).

ISES Summer School

Dates: July 24-July 31, 2008 Location: Colorado College
