The theory and application of instrumental techniques to the geochemistry of minerals and rocks. Topics include: terrestrial and cosmic abundance of elements; theory of element partitioning and its application to geothermometry and geobarometry; the behaviour of major and trace elements during partial melting and fractional crystallization; radiogenic and stable isotopic systems. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours
