New Research Highlights by our group presented on the "Research Highlights" Website of the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) Hamburg here
Nanoscale Processes in Geological Materials

We will have our next FOR 741 Seminar on Friday, April 20, and Saturday, 2012 at the Department of Lithosphere Research, University of Vienna. This is just Friday and Saturday before EGU 2012, which starts on Sunday, 22. Our meeting begins at Friday afternoon and will terminate Saturday, late afternoon.

We will have one or two invited Guest Speakers (yet to be confirmed).
