Course Objectives:
Upgrade of knewledge acquired during the graduate and undergraduate studies to
provide a comprehensive coverage of the principles and techniques used in petrogenesis of igneous rocks and their cause-and-effect relationships with tectonic settings and crustal evolution. Consideration of magma types formed by partial meltig of upper mantle and lithosphere.
