Jon Davidson, Elements Review of previous edition: 'I will choose the second edition of Philpotts and Ague's Principles of Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology because of its forward-looking coverage.' ...

All Earth Science students need to understand the origins, environments, and basic processes that produce igneous and metamorphic rocks. This concise introductory textbook provides students with the ...

Provides advanced study of igneous and metamorphic rocks following on from delivery of the Petrology, Volcanology and Geochemistry/Dynamic Solid Earth modules in Year 1. This module focuses on how the ...

Petrology is the study of the macroscopic and microscopic mineralogical and chemical composition of rocks. In addition to assessing sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks that are accessible ...

There are two other types of rocks. The Moine Schist, the puzzling old rock found on top of younger rock here, is called a metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are created when other types of rock ...

The temperature and pressure at which the mineralogical composition of a rock equilibrated can vary laterally through a metamorphic terrane. The two parameters together determine the metamorphic grade ...

Abstract: Rocks from the Valhalla metamorphic core complex, British Columbia, Canada, have experienced granulite facies metamorphism at conditions of 820±30°C, 8±1 kbar. Peak metamorphism was ...

In practice, some smart contracts can change – even after they’ve been deployed. With a few clever tricks, you can create metamorphic smart contracts that “metamorphose” into something else – and by ...

We study deformation and metamorphic processes in the Earth at all scales, from nanostructures to plate boundaries, using tools ranging from electron microscopy to field geology. Our investigations ...
