This major textbook offers a new conceptual framework for metamorphic petrology, based on progress made over the past 20 years. During this period, the subject has undergone drastic changes, owing partly to the progress of thermodynamic investigations of metamorphic reactions and of the actual conditions of metamorphism under which such reactions occur, and partly to intensive field studies based on petrological, tectonic, geological, thermobarometric, geochronological and geophysical methods. "Metamorphic petrology" starts with detailed discussions of progress in the study of the general prin

Igneous and metamorphic petrology has over the last twenty years expanded rapidly into a broad, multifaceted and increasingly quantitative science. Advances in geochemistry, geochronology, and geophysics, as well as the appearance of new analytical tools, have all contributed to new ways of thinking about the origin and evolution of magmas, and the processes driving metamorphism.This book is designed to give students a balanced and comprehensive coverage of these new advances, as well as a firm grounding in the classical aspects of igneous and metamorphic petrology. The emphasis throughout is

This work covers the subject of the petrology of the metamorphic rocks, including such subjects as rock and mineral compositions and their relationship, metamorphism associated with igneous intrusions, dynamic metamorphism, extra-terrestrial metamorphism and metamorphism in collision zones. The book uses examples of the field relationships of metamorphic rocks and their appearance in thin section; discusses the thermodynamic and analytic methods concerned; describes methods for determining the temperatures and deformations of the rocks and demonstrates how thermodynamic modelling enables them

Geological Society of London Handbook Series Edited by Keith Cox Founded in 1807, the Geological Society of London has been publishing since 1845 and now distributes its journal to Fellows throughout the world. This Handbook is published as part of a series of authoritative practical guides to field geology. The Field Description of Metamorphic Rocks This handbook describes how metamorphic rocks and rock masses may be observed, recorded and mapped in the field. Written at a level suitable for undergraduate students of geology, this book (as with its companion volumes in the series) has firmly

Principles of Metamorphic Petrology provides a modern introduction to the latest ideas, techniques and approaches in the study of metamorphic rocks. The book begins with basic concepts, but advances further than most other metamorphic petrology texts. Examples of this include the latest chemographic approaches, the correct use of pseudosections and the application of x-ray compositional mapping to metamorphic problems. It also covers recent advances in thermobarometry and the application of modern geochronological techniques to the absolute timing of tectonometamorphic events. Determination of

Providing enough background to be rigorous, without being exhaustive, it gives readers good preparation in the techniques of modern petrology; a clear and organized review of the classification, textures, and approach to petrologic study; and then applies these concepts to the real occurrences of the rocks themselves. Requires only a working knowledge of algebra, and makes extensive use of spreadsheets. Includes an accompanying diskette of programs and data files. This book offers unique, comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of both igneous and metamorphic petrology in a single volume and provi
