Course Title:
Case Studies in Petrology
Course Number:
AB_1098
Course Description:
Course Objective
The main aim of the course is to develop a deep understanding of petrological processes the context of selected plate tectonic environments. This will entail teaching how to use the main petrographic and geochemical techniques and methods.
Course Content
Case studies focusing on the petrological aspects of major geodynamic environments. Petrological variations are at the core of the course but the importance of (isotope) geochemistry and regional tectonics will be stressed as ways of gaining a full understanding of the key processes that control magma genesis and metamorphism. A short field excursion to the Eifel region of Germany will be conducted at the end of the course.
