POZIVNICA

 

 

Dissemination 2 - students

Presentation on Alpine magmatism by Petra Schneider on "Studentski dani geologije" was continuation (2^nd part) of our dissemination trilogy - aiming strictly to student population.
 

 

Feel free to visit us on 16.05. on final meeting/workshop/set of talks.

It will not be GoT or Big Bang Theory finale but still we think it will be worth of visiting. For invitation see above.

 

Dissemination 1 – Bottom Up

In the scope of the project, dissemination activity is among the most important. Our basic idea was to show the project research achievements on the three different levels: 1) to the broad community, 2) to the student population (undergraduate, graduate and PhD students) and 3) to the scientific community. According to this idea, provisory plan was made and we had started our dissemination mission from the point 1) aiming to in situ population (local community). Our field work at Brač Island partly inspired with knowledge gained from Bahama experience and the analogy in evolution of the carbonate platforms was ideal to show to the youngest population. BTW this is a population who enjoys swimming in our key-localities and understands extinction boundaries perfectly :-) Finally, something good from movies and computer games.

 

Unforgettable afternoon at elementary school in Supetar with open-minded youth and co-operative geography teacher. Thank you and we should do such events more often!

 

Field work – closing of field activities (carbonate rocks; Istra, Brač)

Another common field research in order to find suitable spots that represents remained frontiers between Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Success! New samples, new records, new conclusions.

 

9^th Mineralogical-petrological Conference Petros 2019

Last week of project we will spend at conference in Bratislava showing the latest results of hard-rock part of project. Submitted:

 

Dražen Balen and Hans-Joachim Massonne

Clockwise and counterclockwise P–T paths of ophiolite-related metamorphic sole rocks from the Krivaja-Konjuh ultramafic massif of the Dinaride Ophiolite Zone, Central Bosnia and Herzegovina

 

Petra Schneider, Dražen Balen, Hans-Joachim Massone and Joachim Opitz

Cretaceous rift-related magmatism in the suture zone of Adria microplate and European plate (Slavonian Mts., Croatia)

 

2019, 10 to 13 September - 34th IAS Meeting of Sedimentology -

Another abstract  is submitted for the conference. This is one of numerous outputs that will follow formal ending of project.

 

EGU 2019 loved to keep up on the biggest European geo-meeting

Another European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2019 Vienna | Austria | 07  – 12 April 2019

Another lurking through the window of advance science.

Field work – closing of field activities (metamorphic rocks; Medvednica, central Bosnia)

Everything comes to the end! Except in the geology. There is so much to do and every solved problem gained new ones. First disappointments with inaccuracy of basic plans followed by narcotic thrill about solving “everything” ended in the closing of the field activities (for the moment) with common intergroup inspection of particular key-outcrops. Reasonable and very fruitful strategy in the presentation of research results that will help us in combining the data in the future publications and project proposals. And of course, a bunch of new data on a closure of the oceanic domain.

:-)

Brainstorming

 

On January the 28^th we had a brainstorming. A final one!

Surprisingly the attendance was high in spite of various obligations that we had. Two hot issues for resolving were: 1. The extrapolation of field-work with closure of ophiolite-related and carbonate subjects and 2. Dissemination meeting at the end of project. To cool a bit those hard subjects, the fluid part follows afterward.

Epilogue: solid ideas unstoppably emerges and emerges and emerges. Some kind of a project prolongation can be expected, either formally or informally. But first we should finish those first challenges that we had started to publish as conference communications, reports etc.. Other way, it will be so typical “never-ending story”.
