Theory teaching
Introduction to contact metamorphism and types. Contact metamorphism of clastic sedimentary rocks. Contact metamorphism of basic magma rocks and their pyroclastics. Contact metamorphism of carbonates and marls. Pyrometamorphism. Phase equilibrium in CMS systems (H2O-CO2); CMAS (H2O-CO2), KCMAS (H2O-CO2), KFCMAS (H2O-CO2). The effect of CO2 on the stability of the minerals. Contact metamorphism and ore deposits. Contact metamorphic rocks of Serbia and other specific regions. Practical teaching
