What will I learn?
This Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology Course provides practical skills to identify rocks in the field and under the microscope, interpret textures and fabrics, and distinguish intrusive from extrusive bodies. Learners will handle minerals, phase diagrams, thermobarometry, and geochemical data, applying these to reconstruct tectonothermal histories and prepare clear technical reports.
