Poštovani,

Rok za prijavu na mikromorfološki tečaj je prošao 1.svibnja.

Budući da ste u neformalnom razgovoru spomenuli da ste Vi ili Vaši suradnici  zainteresirani za sudjelovanje, molim Vas da mi, ako ste još uvijek zainteresirani, do kraja tjedna javite, odnosno pošaljete popunjeni registracijski formular. Naime, ostalo je još svega par slobodnih mjesta, a ograničeni smo brojem mikroskopa. Konačan popis sudionika potreban mi je kako bih mogla formirati konačnu cijenu i mailing-listu.

Zahvaljujem na suradnji

INTENSIVE TRAINING COURSE ON SOIL MICROMORPHOLOGY

PRESENTATION

The course will comprise lectures, exercises with thin sections provided by the lecturers and also with material brought by the participants and visits to a thin section lab. There will be a maximum of 2 participants per microscope, as well as facilities to work with the microscopes during extra time and to discuss the participants own thin sections with lecturers and colleagues. A certificate issued by the Croatian Geological Survey, Zagreb, Croatia, will be handled to the participants who attend a minimum hours of lectures.

The approximate program of the course is the following:
• Principles of mineralogy and petrography, optical mineralogy
• Sampling and thin section preparation
• Guidelines for the description of thin sections of soils and regoliths
• Micromorphology of soil materials and identification of soil formation processes: carbonates and gypsum in arid soils, clay accumulation-, hydromorphic- and freeze-thaw features in soils, tropical and highly weathered soils.

• Micromorphometry and image processing.
  • Application of micromorphology in carbonate concretion-investigations
  • Application of micromorphology in archaeology
  • Additional techniques
• Personal work: Thin section study, exercises on thin section description
• Optional weekend excursion through the Hrvatsko Zagorje region with sites visiting:

Kraneamus – Krapina Neanderthal Museum http://mkn.mhz.hr/en/,

Trakošćan – the Renaissance castle http://www.trakoscan.hr/index-en.html

Aquae Iasae – Roman thermae http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquae_Iasae

• Introduction, sampling techniques, thin section preparation
