What will I learn?
This Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology Course equips you with hands-on skills to identify rocks in the field and microscope, interpret textures and fabrics, differentiate intrusive from extrusive bodies, handle minerals, phase diagrams, thermobarometry, and geochemical data, reconstruct tectonothermal histories, and produce clear, structured technical reports for real-world geology applications.
Elevify advantages
