Kaiserstuhl workshop and EUG session, April 2001
The role of mantle carbon in the global carbon cycle
Convenors: A.P. Jones, J. Keller, Iain Gilmour, F.Wall
Workshop
A 2 day workshop was held on 6-8 April 2001, before EUG consisting of fieldwork at the Kaiserstuhl carbonatite complex and informal presentations as part of panel and round table discussions, based in a hotel at Breisach, near Freiburg, Germany.
This workshop started the EUROCARB Network at one of the best known mantle carbon localities in Europe, the Kaiserstuhl carbonatite complex, near Freiburg, Germany. The locality provided an opportunity to see classic intrusive carbonatite and much more recently discovered extrusive carbonatite, as well as to see and discuss the relationships between contemporaneous igneous carbonate and silicate rocks.
Objectives: To define all of the means by which carbon is brought from the mantle to the crust and surface of the Earth.
There were about 40 participants.
