Lowell Program in Economic Geology kicks off with Porphyry Short Course
We are pleased to announce that the Lowell Program in Economic Geology
is offering its first short course. A 10-day module on Porphyry Deposits
will be held 7 -16 December 2004 in Tucson (for detailed information,
log on to http://econ.geo.arizona.edu/calendar/). The course includes
a preview of information that will appear in a review paper of porphyry
deposits in the 100th Anniversary Volume of the Society of Economic Geologists,
to be published in late 2005. The short course includes labs, field exercises,
and field trips. |

Lowell Program Web Site
The Lowell Program in Economic Geology is sporting a brand-new web site. It was created in collaboration with the Treistman Center for New Media in the College of Fine Arts. Our web pages provide a comprehensive overview of the Lowell Program, including a calendar of events, a biography of David Lowell, profiles of our Faculty and Staff, tentative course listings, Frequently Asked Questions, and a feedback form.

South America and Australia Trips
As part of our ongoing efforts to make the Lowell Program known to the international mining community, we traveled to Peru and Chile last October. In Lima, Santiago, and Concepción (where we attended the 10th Chilean Geological Congress) we had the opportunity to visit with members of over twenty companies and institutions. The level of interest in the Lowell Program in Economic Geology was high, and the feedback we obtained was invaluable. This October, we are flying to Australia to attend the stand-alone meeting of the Society of Economic Geologists in Perth, "Predictive Mineral Discovery Under Cover," and to visit with institutions and companies across Australia. We look forward to getting vigorous input from our colleagues there!
