The third edition of MEREMA took place in the charming village of Volterra, in the heart of Tuscany. It was a great event — many thanks to all the organizers and participants!
MEREMA (MElting and fluid/melt-rock REactions in the MAntle) is an international school of mantle petrology, covering theoretical, experimental, thermodynamic, geochemical and macro/microscopic study of mantle lithologies. The school is open to master degree and PhD students, and young researchers in Earth Sciences.

History
The school was originally focused on mantle melting processes and reaction mechanisms between mantle rocks and percolating melts/fluids. It now aims to assess the present state of knowledge about the structure, chemical differentiation, and dynamics of the mantle as a whole system, acquiring information from different methodologic approaches and disciplines (petrology, geochemistry and geophysics).
The first MEREMA was held in the historic lecture centre of the University of Pavia, organized by the Italian Group of Petrography (GNP) of the Italian Society of Mineralogy and Petrology (SIMP), in collaboration with the PhD programs of the Universities of Pavia, Ferrara, Genova, Milano and Modena-Reggio Emilia.
