This course aims to introduce the principles of magmatic, sedimentary and metamorphic petrology and the use of the optical microscope in Geosciences. You will learn how to identify the different types of rocks and minerals under the microscope (and SEM) and make connections with the hand specimen. You will discover the main processes that lead to the formation of the different rock types and rock associations in different tectonic environments. You will gain hands on experience with the different analytical techniques used to study rocks (microscope and SEM) and make connections with the theoretical content. You will discover implications for the society and practical applications by discussing the importance of rocks and minerals for the industry, and problems related to human health and environmental pollution.
