GEOL 4021 - Petrology: Evolution of Crustal and Mantle Rocks Course uri icon

Overview

description

  • Origin, physical, and chemical properties of igneous and metamorphic rocks. This course develops a thermodynamic framework for the interpretation of geologic processes from observed mineral assemblages and rock textures. Laboratory component emphasizes the study of rocks in thin section and hand samples to understand earth processes in the mantle and crust. Recommended prerequisites: ERTH 2001 and ERTH 2700.
