Johannes Christiaan Vrijmoed, Josephine Moore
Additional information / Pre-requisites
The succesful graduation of the Modul Petrologisches Grundwissen, from the Bachelor Geological Sciences or similar is recommend. Important: the Modul MSc-GG017. Spezielle Geochemische Themen (MATLAB Introduction blockcours) has to be booked as well. The first MATLAB seminar start already 06.10.2025!

Qualification aims: Students are familiar with basics of thermodynamic equilibrium in multi-phase,multi-components, systems as well as kinetically controlled petrogenetic processes and know how to quantitatively describe these. Contents: Basics of macroscopic thermodynamics, phase petrology in multi-component systems, topology of phase diagrams, measurements of thermodynamic data, non-equilibrium thermodynamics and kinetic processes, surface controlled reactions, diffusion, meaning of grain- and phase boundaries, time scales of petrogenetic processes. In depth exercises.
