International audienceFluid (and melt) inclusion studies have shown a marked development in the last decades, as indicated by the increasing number of papers and as covered under major themes in specialized meetings (e.g. ECROFI in Europe, PACROFI in America, ACROFI in Asia). However, a basic text book is lacking in current literature, available information being either somewhat outdated (e.g. Roedder, 1984) or scattered in multi-author “short course”, mainly organized by the Mineralogical Societies of Canada, America or Europe. A result is that basic features of fluid inclusion studies, notably its key technique, microthermometry, and recently supplemented by micro Raman of infrared pectroscopy, is rarely taught in most universities, leaving the student alone to discover a field of study which has grown to the dimensions of a major science

How everything started: A retrospective

Recalling some of the most important events and persons during his education and career, the author sketches his growth from a young engineer, educated in the sanctuary of solid state reactions, to an involved fully devoted scientific career for the study of fluids in the deep Earth. Most important in this respect was the discovery of CO2 inclusions in granulites, which triggered years of discussion on fluid-absent or fluid-assisted granulite metamorphism. To some extent, this debate is a continuation of the former granite controversy, but it shows also how the famous battle of “soaks against pontiffs” could have been easily avoided

Michel Lévy (Auguste Michel-Lévy, 1844-1911), brillant élève de l'École impériale des mines

International audienceDuring the three years that he spent at the École des mines de Paris (1864-1867) Auguste Michel-Lévy had the same name than his father (Michel Lévy). He was an exceptionally gifted student, and the friendly relations that he developed with a number of his professors had a decisive influence of his career. Besides a rare combination of field work and most advanced analysis of cristalline optics analysis, for which he became rapidly internationally known, he was, and remained until the end of his life, deeply influenced by Élie de Beaumont's ideas.Pendant ses trois années d'études à l'École des mines de Paris (1864-1867), Auguste Michel-Lévy portait le même nom que son père (Michel Lévy). Élève particulièrement brillant, l'enseignement qu'il a reçu et surtout les relations amicales qu'il a développées avec ses professeurs ont eu une influence décisive sur le reste de sa carrière. À côté d'une inclination pour les levés de terrain et les calculs complexes en optique cristalline, qui lui assureront une renommée internationale, on décèle la marque des idées d'Élie de Beaumont, auxquelles il restera fidèle jusqu'à la fin d'une carrière particulièrement bien remplie
