[GLIMS] Alpine Field Trip

[Jean-Daniel Champagnac]

Dear colleagues,

This is my pleasure to announce you the *12-day field trip across the
Western Alps *this September (9-20 September 2013) organized by Grenoble
University together with ETH Zürich and University Milano-Bicocca. The
field course is open for participation by Masters and PhD students.

This field trip is designed to offer a *high-level course in field geology*,
enabling students to improve their skills in data acquisition in the field,
while learning about current research issues in Alpine geology and
confronting different viewpoints on this topical mountain belt. Each day an
internationally recognised specialist of the area considered will act as
the field trip leader, allowing different points of view on the mountain
belt to be considered and placed in the context of western Alpine orogenic
evolution.

The courses will be in English and will allow validating credits (3 ECTS)
for a Masters or PhD study programme.

*Application will be possible by email until *July 26.** The number of
participants will be limited to 20 students (priority will be given to
students from the 3 organizing institutions). We welcome applications from
Master or PhD students worldwide.

To apply, send a short cover letter and a one-page CV to
