Study program:
Petrology and Geochemistry (VIII semester -MsC) |
|
Name of subject: Metamorphic Rocks |
Instructors:
Prof. Danica Srećković - Batočanin |
|
Status: Compulsory |
|
ECTS: 5 |
|
Prerequisites: - |
Course Objectives:
Upgrade knowledge about metamorphism and it relation to tectonic processes. |
Learning Outcomes:
Students are trained to: study metamorphic rocks and solved problems as well as to apply results in different geological disciplines; examine and introduce techniques for quantification of P-T conditions of metamorphism: consider the interrelationships between deformation and metamorphism; identify key textural/micro structural features of metamorphic rocks and appreciate the significance of such features with regard to geological processes that have operated. |
Content:
Theory teaching
Introduction. Type of metamorphism. Metamorphic rock-forming minerals (crystallography and petrography). Metamorphic fabric. Composition and nomenclature of metamorphic rocks. Reaction processes. P-T conditions of metamorphism: geothermobarometry. Geotectonic environments. The role of metamorphic rocks in the geological framework of the Earth and Serbia. Practical teaching
Exercises in analytical methodology, mineralogy and petrology, optical mineralogy, geochemical modelling and thermobarometry. Microscopic properties of metamorphic rock-forming minerals, metamorphic fabric, time of crystallization and deformation; defining the type of rocks, protoliths and the degree of metamorphism |
