Metamorphic and Metasomatic Processes

Education facts

Code: 1MP037

The course addresses mineral chemistry of index minerals, thermodynamics and phase equilibrium combined with geothermobarometry to construct P-T-time paths. Metasomatism, fluid activity, metamorphic processes and the relationship with tectonic processes. You will get hands on experience of thermodynamic modelling through project work. Courses 1MP046, 1MP036 and 1MP037 are designed to fit together.
