This advanced graduate-level learning path equips students with the theoretical and practical skills to reconstruct and model P-T-t paths in metamorphic rocks. It covers the necessary thermodynamics, phase equilibria modeling, geochronology, and diffusion modeling, culminating in integrated case studies and a capstone project.
This path equips graduate petrology students with the skills to manage, analyze, and visualize petrological data using spreadsheets and specialized software. It covers essential statistics, element plots, discrimination diagrams, ternary diagrams, and introduces key petrological software tools. The curriculum progresses from fundamental data handling to advanced analytical techniques, emphasizing practical application and interpretation.
This advanced graduate-level path systematically explores how igneous and metamorphic rocks record tectonic processes. Learners will connect rock suites to specific plate tectonic settings, integrating phase equilibria, geochemistry, and geochronology to interpret petrotectonic associations.
This advanced graduate-level path systematically develops the principles of metamorphic kinetics, bridging equilibrium thermodynamics and disequilibrium processes. It covers diffusion, nucleation, crystal growth, reaction rates, and their coupling with deformation, culminating in an understanding of overstepping and its petrological consequences.
A comprehensive graduate-level path covering the thermodynamic theory of mineral-melt equilibria, including phase equilibria, melt structure, partition coefficients, and modeling approaches. Learners will develop the skills to construct and interpret equilibrium models for igneous processes.
A systematic graduate-level learning path covering the metamorphic petrology of the continental crust, from fundamental phase equilibria to deep crustal processes such as granulite and eclogite metamorphism, crustal melting, and differentiation. The path emphasizes the petrological tools and conceptual frameworks needed to interpret crustal rocks and their evolution.
A systematic graduate-level learning path covering the mineralogy, chemical composition, and petrological processes of the Earth's mantle. It progresses from fundamental igneous petrology and mineralogy through mantle rock types, melting, metasomatism, and xenoliths, culminating in the evolution of cratonic mantle.
This advanced graduate-level path covers the theory and practice of determining phase equilibria through high-pressure and high-temperature experiments. Learners will build from thermodynamic foundations through experimental apparatus and methods to the interpretation of results for petrological applications.
A comprehensive graduate-level learning path covering the principles, applications, and interpretation of radiogenic (Sr-Nd-Pb) and stable (O) isotopes in petrology. Learners will trace isotope systematics from fundamental decay physics through to advanced petrogenetic modeling, focusing on mantle vs. crustal sources and contamination processes.
This path equips graduate petrology students with the theoretical and practical skills to apply trace element geochemistry to petrogenetic problems. It covers partitioning behavior, REE systematics, discrimination diagrams, and quantitative modeling, with attention to element mobility and uncertainty.
