PACROFI 2010 LAS VEGAS, NEVADA |
We are excited to announce that the tenth Pan-American Current Research on Fluid Inclusions (PACROFI) conference will be held on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA from June 7th through June 10th, 2010. The meeting is the ideal venue for presenting fluid and melt inclusion research. We invite academic, industry, and government researchers who use fluid and/or melt inclusions to unravel the evolution of geologic systems. Please also note that the PACROFI conference is being held the week directly preceding the Goldschmidt Conference in Knoxville, TN, USA.
CONFERENCE DATES Early Registration deadline: March 15, 2010 Early Registration (deadline of March 15, 2010): $400 Registration includes the icebreaker, conference dinner, and daily beverages during the oral and poster sessions. Students and Early Career Scientists: We have applied for and anticipate receiving NSF funding which we will use to supplement registration, housing, and travel for students, and registration/housing for early-career scientists. These fees will be announced on the conference website in February, 2010. Housing in the UNLV Campus Hotel is approximately $40 per night based on a four night, double occupancy reservation. ABSTRACTS Abstract submission is now open. To submit your abstract, download the Abstact Template and follow all directions provided. Abstracts should be submitted to PACROFIXUNLV@GMAIL.COM. The deadline for submitting abstracts is March 15, 2010.

The tentative cost, including everything except breakfast and evening dinners, is $450 double occupancy, $575 single occupancy. PRE-MEETING SHORT COURSES June 6-7, 2010: Professor Bob Bodnar, Virginia Tech: Applications of Fluid and Melt Inclusions in Ore Deposits Research and Exploration (cost to be announced). This will be a one and a half day short course. POST-MEETING FIELD TRIP This two day field trip will explore the physical and chemical links between the Wilson Ridge Pluton and River Mountains volcanic area in the Colorado River Extensional Corridor. This field trip will be run as two separate one-day trips from the UNLV campus. The tentative field trip cost, including transportation and lunches, is $250. Participants can extend their stay in the UNLV campus hotel for approximately $50 per night double occupancy. David Banks, University of Leeds
