Course Description:
This course covers basic concepts in igneous and metamorphic petrology.  Emphasis is placed on the origin, occurrence, and tectonic interpretation of commmon igneous and metamorphic rocks.  Labs and homework will focus on the application and interpretation of petrographic and chemical data to solve petrologic problems. This is a 4-credit lab science course designed for undergraduate majors and graduate students.
