The [course_title] course helps you to understand the origin and evolution of igneous rocks. You will learn the parameters that control partitioning of trace elements between phases and to develop models for the partitioning of trace elements between phases in igneous systems, especially between minerals and melt. Topics included the basic concepts of geochemistry, Thermodynamic consideration of TE solid solution, Fractional crystallisation, Complex melting models, Ion exchange chromatography, and more.
Assessment
This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer needs to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
