Information
Course Goal / Objective
Aim of this course is; to give information about petrology of rocks, to define geochemical processes affecting magmatic-metamorphic and sedimentary rocks, to give information on isotopes, whole rock-mineral chemistry and CIPW norms that help to explore petrological characteristics of rocks.
Course Content
Definition of petrology. relation between petrography and petrology. Geological processes affecting the geochemistry of rocks. Preparation of rocks for geochemical analysis. Analytical methods in geochemistry. Major-trace-REEs and their importance. CIPW norm calculations, Isotopes and their usage for geological problems. Usage of geochemical data for magmatic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.
Course Precondition
There is no prerequisite.
