Pre-registration open – Geothermal geochemistry course, 26 Oct – 1 Nov 2025, Chile

Pre-registration is now open for the upcoming “International Course on the Geochemistry of Volcanic and Geothermal Fluid” (Curso Internacional de Geoquimica de Fluidos Volcanics Geothermales / CIGEFLU) taking place in San Pedro de Acatama in Chile on 26 October to 1 November 2025.

The course will include lectures in theory and practical lessons which will be done in the field. Geologists, engineers, chemists, lecturers, and undergraduate and graduate students interested in fluid geochemistry in geothermal systems are invited to participate in the course. The lessons will be given in a mix of Spanish and English.

The course is being organized by the Millennium Institute on Volcanic Risk Research – Ckelar Volcanes. Lecturers will include several national and international specialized professors and researchers responsible for the most recent advances in in the knowledge of volcanic and geothermal systems.

There will also be practical lessons in volcanic and geothermal areas with gas emissions and thermal springs. Participants will be able to see and perform direct sampling and measurement of physicochemical parameters of volcanic and geothermal fluids, as well as remote SO2 measurements using UV cameras and DOAS spectrometers.
