GEOL 432 - Geochemical Modeling3 Credit Hours
Petrogenetic modeling provides a framework for interpreting igneous processes that operate in the Earth and planets. End-member petrogenetic models make fundamentally different assumptions about the physics of partial melting, melt extraction and melt migration. In this course we will review and critically evaluate models for partial melting of planetary interiors. Students will build a suite of MATLAB programs to apply to data from real samples. Development of these codes will provide a foundation in the fundamentals of coding and data analysis in MATLAB. The course will culminate in a research project; the codes themselves will remain a valuable package of tools that each student can apply in real research.
Contact Hour Distribution: 2-hour lecture and 2-hour lab.
Repeatability: May be repeated one time.
(RE) Prerequisite(s): GEOL 310 * and GEOL 330 or permission of instructor.
