27/08/2019 - 30/08/2019 - PARTICIPATION IN THE 2019 SGA BIENNIAL MEETING IN GLASGOW

Last week of August of 2019 took place the 2019 SGA Biennial Meeting in Glasgow, Scotland (from 27.08 - 30.08). Three of our student members assisted to the meeting in order to present their research and the activities we performed in the Barcelona SGA-SEG Student Chapter: Júlia Farré de Pablo and Núria Pujol Solà, both former presidents of the Student Chapter, and Malena Cazorla Martínez, current vice-president.

Núria Pujol Solà presented a poster with the title “Olivine orthopyroxenite-hosted chromitite veins in the ophiolitic mantle, Havana-Matanzas, Cuba, in which she explained the new interpretations regarding the unusual formation of chromitite veins within orthopyroxenite instead of hosted within dunite.

Júlia Farré de Pablo presented a poster of the research she is performing in the framework of her PhD study about the origin and formation of ophiolitic chromitites of Dominican Republic. She also presented the activities performed by our Student Chapter in the last two years in the SGA-General Assembly that took place during the meeting.

Malena Cazorla Martínez did an oral presentation in which she exposed her Bachelor Thesis. Malena’s Bachelor Thesis focused chiefly on the study of the petrology and geochemistry of the Animas-Chocaya-Siete Suyos deposit, Bolivia, which is extremely enriched in indium. She explained that the main reason why the deposit is extremely enriched in indium is because of the high values of indium found in sphalerite, up to 9.5 wt. %.
