with my knowledge of‚ and aptitude for‚ computer-related work. There are several specific areas that I have already studied that I think would lend themselves to research based on computing techniques‚ including mineral phase relations in igneous petrology and several topics in structural geology. I have had both lecture/lab and field courses in structural geology‚ as well as a short module dealing with plate tectonics‚ and I am very interested in the whole area. I would like to explore structural

Equilibrium phase composition of the system is calculated as a function of existing conditions. This article primarily explains the theory and method of thermodynamic modeling as applied to magmatic systems. The use of thermodynamic modeling in igneous petrology as an approach complimentary to the conventional geochemical modeling is also explored. 1|Page Introduction Magmas are the hot molten bodies produced by melting events within solid Earth. Most magmas exist as physically heterogeneous mixtures

the Stone Age rocks have been used for tools. The minerals and metals we find in rocks have been essential to human civilization.[1] Three major groups of rocks are defined: igneous‚ sedimentary‚ and metamorphic. The scientific study of rocks is called petrology‚ which is an essential component of geology.Geologists define a rock as: A bound aggregate of minerals‚ mineraloids‚ or fragments of other rocks. The use of the word ’bound’ means that a rock must have structural integrity‚ e.g. an

Janet van der Brug – 3665542 Undergraduate Honours Research Project 07-06-2013 The main goal of the research is to establish the environment of deposition using the geochemistry and petrology of the samples as an indication of the processes and conditions. This question leads to other‚ more detailed questions: is there any chemical trace of early life; what redox processes were going on in original rocks; are sediments affected by hydrothermal

The Rock Cycle & Classification of Rocks The rock cycle is the formation‚ breakdown and reformation of a rock as a result of sedimentary‚ igneous‚ and metamorphic processes. The rock cycle is an illustration that is used to describe how the three rock types are related and how Earth processes change a rock from one type to another over time. Each group contains a collection of rock types that differ from each other on the basis of the size‚ shape and arrangement of mineral grains. Due to the driving

On the Digermulen Peninsula‚ the succession starts with the classic Neoproterozoic glacial tillite of the Mortensnes Formation (Fig. 3). This tillite has traditionally been tentatively correlated by many workers (e.g.‚ Rice et al. 2011‚ and references therein) with the type ’Gaskiers’ glaciogenic succession in Newfoundland‚ which is between 584 and 582 Ma old‚ based on zircon U–Pb ages from intercalated ash beds (Bowring et al. 2002). The Mortensnes Formation is separated downwards from the ’Marinoan’

Hornfels DEFINITION Hornfels is a very fine-grained metamorphosed shale rock‚ usually gray to black in color. Mineral composition in variable but is usually made up of some combination of equidimensional mosaic of quartz or calcite along with inequidimensional sheet silicates in random orientation or sometimes containing andalusite porphyroblasts. OCCURANCE Hornfels forms when shale rocks come into contact with a hot igneous intrusion body at lower pressures and at the equilibrium temperature

At a granular level‚ rocks are composed of grains of minerals‚ which‚ in turn‚ are homogeneous solids formed from a chemical compound that is arranged in an orderly manner. The aggregate minerals forming the rock are held together by chemical bonds. The types and abundance of minerals in a rock are determined by the manner in which the rock was formed. Many rocks contain silica (SiO2); a compound of silicon and oxygen that forms 74.3% of the Earth’s crust. This material forms crystals with other
