Field trips

Pre- and post-conference trips

Several fieldtrips were planned before and after the conference. Unfortunately, some of the trips did not attract a sufficient number of participants, and we were forced to cancel them.

  • Pre-conference trips:
    • Adamello Massif: Peter Ülmer, peter.ulmer AT erdw.ethz.ch
    • French Massif Central: Oscar Laurent, oscar.laurent AT Get.omp.eu
    • External crystalline massifs of the Alps
  • Post-conference trips:
    • Calabria: Patrizia Fiannacca, patrizia.fiannacca AT unict.it
    • Elba: Federico Farina, federico.farina AT unimi.it
    • Bohemian Massif
    • Ophiolite-related granitoids in the Alps

Mid conference trip

In addition, a mid-conference field trip (included in the cost of the conference) will be held in the middle of the week, Wednesday 13th of September 2023. We will visit the Ivrea zone, a crustal section through the Alpine crust from volcanoes down to lower crustal mafic/ultramafic complexes, through migmatites, granites etc.
