Course objectives
Course reassume basic geochemistry course in bachelor level. The main attention is paid to the quantitative methods of stability estimantion in geological systems (minerals, rocks, fluids) in Earth crust and paths of their transformation. Students will be able to solve problems of genesis (p, T conditons and composition) and temporal evolution of geologic systems from igneous rocks to the current changes of Earth atmosphere.
