Petrology of Metamorphic Rocks - Selected Topics

Study program:
Geology (I semester -PhD)
Name of subject: Petrology of Metamorphic Rocks - Selected Topics
Instructors:
Prof. Bojan Kostić
Status: Optional
ECTS: 10
Prerequisites: -
Course Objectives:
Upgrade of knowledge acquired during unedrgradueate and graduated studies. Ability to analize and sintetized data and understanding of very low grade and regional metamorphism
Learning Outcomes:
To provide a comprehensive coverage relevant to the principles and techniques used in the study of petrogenesis of metamorphic rocks and their cause-and-effect relationships with tectonic settings and crustal evolution. Ability for developing skills for scientific works in the area diagenesis-beginning of metamorphism, and regional metamorphism according to contemporary researching methods and software packages (e.g. thermocalc, etc.) as well as creation of models based on mineral assemblages, chemistry and fabric.
Content:

Theory teaching
Introduction – Types of metamorphism – Chapter of interest. Fabric and Composition of metamorphic rocks, Metamorphic facies and protoliths. Identification, classification, origin and occurrence/formation of metamorphic rocks. Chemical equilibrium/disequilibrium in metamorphism; metamorphic phase diagrams (ACF, A'KF, AFM, etc). Metamorphic processes and reactions. Metamorphic petrogenesis and evolution of pelitic rocks. Geothermobarometry. Metamorphic petrogenesis and evolution of mafic rocks. Metamorphism in different tectonic settings; metamorphic pressure-temperature-time (P-T-t) paths and their tectonic implications. Very low grade metamorphism (facies, reactions, index of crystallinity and geobarometry. Phase systems: CASH, CASH-CO2, NCMASH etc. Activity of CO2. Tectonic settings and metamorphism. Metamorphic rock of Serbia and other specific regions.

Practical teaching
Laboratory exercises - microscopy, electron microscopy, field work. Self study research work related to the topic of PhD. Presentation and discussion.
