Geodynamics Seminar, Spring 2001
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: The Earth's crust is primarily composed of melting products from mantle plumes and mid-ocean ridges - both presently and over the course of Earth history. While both systems represent upwelling features in a convective mantle, they can be viewed as end-member systems in that plumes represent buoyant ... More »
Phase Transitions in the Earth's Interior, Spring 2005
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: This course discusses phase transitions in Earth's interior. Phase transitions in Earth materials at high pressures and temperatures cause the seismic discontinuities and affect the convections in the Earth's interior. On the other hand, they enable us to constrain temperature and chemical compositions ... More »
Thermodynamics for Geoscientists, Fall 2006
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: Principles of thermodynamics are used to infer the physical conditions of formation and modification of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Includes phase equilibria of homogeneous and heterogeneous systems and thermodynamic modeling of non-ideal crystalline solutions. Surveys the processes that lead to the ... More »
