Learning Outcomes
Students will learn the basic tools to describe and classify magmatic, metamorphic and siliciclastic rocks, and understand the petrogenetic processes and their geologic significance. Students will acquire the know-how to classify in the field (= outcrop scale) and in the lab (hand sample + thin sections) magmatic, metamorphic and silicoclastic rock
