Learning unit contents
This course is subdivided in two parts:
1. Elements of Mineralogy;
2. Elements of igneous and metamorphic petrology
The organization and content of these two parts are presented in their respective descriptions.
Part 1 : Elements of mineralogy
This course concerns the basics of Mineralogy, for students in BAC3 Geology Engineer and in Master1 Geography. The main chaptes are:
1. Geometric crystallography.
2. Optical crystallography.
3. Crystal chemistry.
4. Macroscopic identification of minerals.
Part 2 : Elements of magmatic and metamorphic petrology
An introduction to magmatic and metamorphic petrology
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Part 1 : Elements of mineralogy
Understand the morphology and the internal structure of minerals. Learn to identify minerals in hand, and with the polarizing microscope in transmitted light.
Part 2 : Elements of magmatic and metamorphic petrology
General overview of the main types of magmatic and metamorphic rocks and their conditions of formation
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Part 1 : Elements of mineralogy
Basic knowledge (level BAC1) in mathematics, trigonometry, physics, optics, and inorganic chemistry.
Part 2 : Elements of magmatic and metamorphic petrology
General geology
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Part 1 : Elements of mineralogy
Numerous hours of practical identification of minerals under the microscope. The macroscopic identification of minerals is not included in the hours mentioned in the programm of this course (personal supplementary training).
Part 2 : Elements of magmatic and metamorphic petrology
4 lectures of 2H and 4 labs
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
Part 1 : Elements of mineralogy
Face-to-face learning. It is absolutely necessary to attend all practicals.
Part 2 : Elements of magmatic and metamorphic petrology
face-to-face
