EAPS 54300 - Advanced Petrology

Credit Hours: 3.00. Application of the methods of chemical thermodynamics to the analysis of the paragenesis of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Topics include the thermodynamics of minerals of common geological interest, characterization of the conditions of formation from the analysis of element partition and reactions between minerals and silicate melts, and mechanisms and rates of crustal and mantle processes inferred from the analysis of chemical gradients, reaction structures, and other records of chemical disequilibrium. Permission of instructor required. Typically offered Fall Spring.
