12.480 Thermodynamics for Geoscientists, Spring 2004

Title:	12.480 Thermodynamics for Geoscientists, Spring 2004
Author:	Grove, Timothy L.
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 modelling of non-ideal crystalline solutions. Surveys the processes that lead to the formation of metamorphic and igneous rocks in the major tectonic environments in the Earth's crust and mantle.
