The University of Perugia (Department of Physics and Geology), in collaboration with the Società Geologica Italiana, organizes the International Structural Geology School G. Pialli 2019 about "Seismic interpretation of passive margins - rift tectonics, volcanism, salt versus non-salt systems". The School will be held in Perugia (Italy) on October 1 - 4, 2019. 
The School is targeted to PhD students, post-docs, advanced master students and young researchers. Course participants do not require prior seismic interpretation experience.
The maximum number of participants is 20 and the fee is 50€; at the end of the course, a certificate of attendance will be given to each participant.
To apply to the School, please ask for the admission form to filippo.carboni@unipg.it.
Deadline for subscription is September 10th, 2019. 

Lectures will be held by Dr Stefan Back (RWTH Aachen University), focusing on the seismic interpretation of passive continental margins.
Passive continental margins originate by continental break-up and form at the transition between continental and oceanic crust. In this course, we will interpret 2D and 3D reflection-seismic data from different passive margin settings integrating tectonic and stratigraphic observations. Besides a geological overview of fundamental plate tectonic concepts, the course will also provide an introduction to 2D and 3D practical seismic interpretation as applied in the subsurface geological analysis. Emphasis will be laid on pragmatically selecting interpretation approaches that are appropriate for particular datasets and purposes to ensure that subsurface interpretations are geologically meaningful and applicable.
