Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Crystallisation pathways of sedimentary minerals are controlled by inorganic, bio-mediated and biological processes. This block course provides state-of-the-art insight into the micro- and nanostructural analysis of sedimentary minerals. The students will learn how to recognise micro- and nano-crystal structures through transmission electron microscopy (TEM). They will learn how to reconstruct crystallisation pathways and recognise diagenetic overprinting of primary phases. The course will provide examples of how crystallisation pathways influence element incorporation and how this affects the reconstruction of environmental processes.
