Deep Carbon Observatory Thematic Institute: “Carbon from the Mantle to the Surface”

Deadline to Apply: February 28, 2015
Is the planet currently ingassing or outgassing carbon?
This defining question and others require an exploration into the forms and fluxes of carbon — from diamonds to volcanoes, from marine carbon to carbonated melts, and from the mantle to the surface and back again.
The Deep Carbon Observatory is sponsoring this 3-day Thematic Institute at UC Berkeley to bring together 50-75 researchers and young scientists with broad international representation in geochemistry, experimental petrology, volcanology, geodynamics, thermodynamics, geophysics, paleoclimate and geology.
The DCO TI will be run in parallel with the CIDER Summer School on “Mantle Interactions with the Hydrosphere and Carbosphere.” Interested and qualified students and postdocs are encouraged to apply to both.
