Advanced Petrology

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2018-2019.

The goal of this course is to enable students to learn about advanced geochemical data evaluation and presentation; identify and interpret the different processes involved in the origin and evolution of magmas using field, petrological, and geochemical tools; and to understand the role of magmatic processes in the evolution of planetary resources. The course will consist of lecture material complemented by current literature reading and discussion, advanced practical exercises (class and/or homework assignments) and field work. Students will be introduced to computational resources for petrological modeling. At the end of the semester, students will give a presentation and submit a term research paper implementing some of the skills and topics developed during the semester.

When Offered Fall (offered alternate years).
