Lab analyses and field geophysics

Recommended Prerequisites

N/A

Teaching Methods

The teaching are based on lectures and practicals. The practicals involve the use of laboratory equipments to characterize materials.     

Learning Outcomes

Synthesize in a report chemical, mineralogical and crystallochemical data obtained from laboratory rock analyzes.

Be able to quantitatively describe the behavior of natural systems and the principles of geophysical measurement using mathematical models based on physics.

Perform analyzes by applying a specific protocol and geophysical processing through numerical software.

Interpret analyzes by comparing the data obtained with those from the literature.

Use of software ((EVA, RUFF) to interpret the results by comparison with chemical and mineralogical databases.

Calculate structural chemical formulas of minerals and report them in ternary diagrams in order to identify them.
