  • GEO 416: Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology

    3.00 Credits
    SUNY College at Oswego

    This course deals with the study of igneous and metamorphic rocks including the origin, occurrences, tectonic setting and petrogenesis of rocks in these major groups. The course is divided into two parts: 1) igneous processes, classification of igneous rocks and petrogenesis; and 2) metamorphic processes, classification of metamorphic rocks and petrogenesis. Petrography lab covers techniques for the macroscopic and microscopic study of rocks. There are two required field trips. Prerequisites: Geo 200 with lab, Geo 310. Ir-4-
