E-FIRE Field Institute, Western Alps & Syros | August 2 – 17 2019 |
EFIRE students, post-docs, and faculty joined ZIP faculty in the Western Alps and Syros, Greece for about 2 weeks. This trip allowed the ~30 participants to view different exposures of Alpine geology and also to view the subduction-related rocks of Syros, Greece as a comparison to those which we have studied in the Western Alps. We also spent time sharing the outcomes of our research with each other in workshop format during our time on Syros.
