Field trips

Registration for field trips is now closed !

The general registration remains open, however.

However, if you are still interested, you may contact the field trip leaders directly and see if they can perhaps put you in waiting list. Please understand that we can not make any promise.

Pre- and post-conference trips

Several fieldtrips are 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. The following trips will still be running:

  • 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
