Metamorphic Petrology and Phase Equilibria

Catalog description

Credits 3. 3 Lecture Hours. Origin and evolution of metamorphic rocks via the application of thermodynamics and phase equilibria; geothermobarometry, fluid-rock interaction, and relations between metamorphic and tectonic processes; application of phase equilibria to real data sets to constrain important variables such as pressure, temperature, and fluid fugacities. Prerequisite: Approval of instructor.
