Phase TransformatIons, MicrostructurEs, and their Seismic Signals from the Earth's mantle
TIMEleSS members are in Münster!
TIMEleSS PI C. Thomas is hosting a seismology training for TIMEleSS students.
Participants include TIMEleSS students E. Ledoux, J. Gay, F. Rochira, M. Krug, and guests from WWU Münster Mineralogy and Seismology labs.
The training is the opportunity to move on to the next step in the TIMEleSS project: combining Mineral Physics and Seismology observations and try to say something about deep mantle processes!
This weeks, students from the TIMEleSS project and our special guests are in Lille to learn about polycrystalline properties.
The course is focused on calculating elastic properties and seismic wave propagation features in a polycrystal, textured or not. We also spend some time trying to model texture development in a deformed polycrystalline aggregate thanks to VPSC simulations.
The participants from the TIMEleSS project, Jeffrey Gay (Lille), Estelle Ledoux (Lille), Matthias Krug (Münster), Federica Rochira (Münster), are delighted to host our very special guests, Tommaso Mandolini (Lille), Ilya Kupenko (Münster), Angelo Pisconti (Münster), Morvarid Saki (Münster), and Lea Pennacchioni (GFZ) for the week.
All should dream of Euler angles and 3D-rotations by the end of the week!
The TIMEleSS team is holding its second training session on multigrain diffraction data processing. The session takes place on Feb 11-15 at the Université de Lille, in France. Participants (left to right on the image) include Julien Chantel, our guest Agnès Dewaele, Sébastien Merkel, Jeffrey Gay, Sergio Speziale, Estelle Ledoux, Matthias Krug, and Carmen Sanchez-Valle.
The session is an opportunity for all members to get trained in multigrain diffraction data processing but also to standardize our data workflow strategies.
More to come soon with the TIMEleSS-tools developed at this occasion!
One of the TIMEleSS PI’s gave a general lecture on Mantle Convection this week.
The French geological society meeting (Réunion des Sciences de la Terre) was held in Lille between Oct 22 and Oct 26, 2018, and included a workshop on Teaching Earth Science in High Schools dedicated to high school teachers in Northern France.
The workshop included a day of scientific presentations during which S. Merkel gave a class on Mantle Convection and a day of field trip. The workshop was also a nice and rare opportunity for high school teachers in Northern France to be in contact with international research in their region.
Federica Rochira and Estelle Ledoux attended the Doctoral Training on Internal Earth in Les Houches during the last two weeks.
The lecture topics included Earth magnetism, with Céline Guervilly and David Cébron, Mineralogy by Nadège Hilairet and James Badro, Mantle Dynamics by Clint Conrad and Maylis Landeau, and deep Earth Seismology by Ed Garnero and Pierre Boué. Xavier Le Pichon gave the introductory seminar, a rare opportunity to meet one of the fathers of plate tectonics!
Two weeks of great opportunity for advanced classes and meeting world experts!
The TIMEleSS team is holding a first training session on multigrain diffraction data processing. The session takes place on June 21-23 at the Université de Lille, in France.
Participants (left to right on the image) include Julien Chantel, Sébastien Merkel, Sergio Speziale, Melissa Achorner, Estelle Ledoux, Ilya Kupenko, and Matthias Krug.
