Prerequisites: GEO 100 with a grade of "C-" or bet- ter

Description: Explores advanced topics in the petrogenesis of igneous and metamorphic rocks in the Earth’s crust and mantle. Examines field and structural relation- ships of crystalline rocks and how thermodynamics, experimental phase equilibria, and computer model- ing are used to study petrogenesis. Each student completes a field and laboratory research project and prepares a written and oral report on the project.
