A quantitative
and laboratory-based study of the chemical and physical processes behind the
origins and nature of igneous rocks. We examine the formation of magma in
different tectonic setting and look at global patterns of magmatism. The course
centers on the interpretation of phase diagrams, chemical and isotopic data,
and rock textures. An important part of the course is petrographic
examinations of rocks in thin sections.
