CTG workshops

CTG workshops have been held every fall since 1980, and usually consist of a Friday evening meet-and-greet, a short (1-2 day) field trip, and oral and poster presentations by attendees. Our workshops are relatively informal and intended to bring Canada's tectonics researchers together under one roof/sky to create community, engage students, gaze at rocks and stimulate lively discussion.

All are welcome to attend!

CTG Short Course 2024: EBSD applied to structural geology and petrology

We at CTG are very excited to announce our first online short course:

EBSD applied to structural geology and petrology
Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is a scanning electron microscope-based method that is widely applied to characterize and quantify crystal microstructure and orientation. The goal of this short course is to provide basic training and a range of example applications to CTG community students and researchers interested in incorporating EBSD analyses into their own research, through a series of online, interactive lectures.

When: April 2-4, 12:00-3:30 pm ET

Who can participate:
Graduate students and researchers working in the fields of structural geology, metamorphic petrology, geochronology and tectonics. You must be able to commit to attending all lectures and are expected to actively participate in online exercises and discussion.

The detailed syllabus is here.

Instructors:

Rellie Goddard, Lakehead University
Matthew Polivchuk, Geological Survey of Canada
Renelle Dubosq, Max Planck Institut für Eisenforschung
Riccardo Graziani, Geological Survey of Canada
