He will cover the main features on the architecture, alteration, and mineralization of these fascinating magmatic-hydrothermal systems that constitute the main source for copper to our society. The subtitle "on the whiteboard" indicates that Dr. Sillitoe will draw directly on the board, slides may be a complement. Because of this format, the course will favour intense interaction with the audience. Places are strictly limited.
