Course objectives
The lecture offers an advanced knowledge of physical chemistry principles application to the real geological systems.
Learning outcomes
After passing the course, a student is able to (1) to construct phase diagrams for a system under study, (2) solve the type of crystallization, (3) estimate formation conditions (p, T, composition of parent material) and, (4) derive P-T path of evolution of the specific rock.
Syllabus
  • Metamorphic rocks
  • Individual types of metamorphic rocks will be treated with emphasis on the geotectonic setting of their genesis. Methods of metamorphic rocks studies aiming at determination of P-T conditions of their formation will be presented. This will include analyses of relationships between metamorphism and deformation, formation and use of mineral zoning, geothermobarometry, geochronology, petrogenetic grids and metamorphic P-T paths. Examples from the Bohemian Massif will be presented.
  • 1. Metapelites, quartzofeldspathic rocks (orthogneisses)
  • 2. Metabasic and mafic rocks.
  • 3. Metacarbonates, calc-silicate rocks .
  • 4. High temperature and ultra-high temperature metamorphism, low, medium and high pressure granulites, anatexis, contact metamorphism.
  • 5. Ultrahigh-pressure metamorpism
  • 6. Metamorphic processes, transformation of minerals and rocks in solid state,
  • 7. Role of fluids.
  • 8. Metamorphic processes rate
