Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course provides an introduction to the quantitative analysis of pressure-temperature-time trajectories during metamorphic petrogenesis. Focus will be on the theory and application of metamorphic phase equilibria using the Theriak-Domino software (de Capitani & Petrakakis, 2010), and an introduction to metamorphic garnet crystallization simulations using Theria_G (Gaidies et al., 2008). Whereas the Theriak-Domino software will be used to calculate and plot rock-specific equilibrium phase diagrams (pseudosections), simulations with Theria_G will predict the compositional zoning that develops in a garnet population during prograde metamorphism. This is a hands-on course based on worked examples provided by the instructors. Participants are encouraged to bring and discuss their own study material if possible.
