Studies the gas, fluid, and solid phase equilibria, including composition and behaviour of fluids related to the formation of rocks and minerals in a variety of geologic environments from sedimentary diagenetic, through structural-metamorphic to mineral deposit-forming environments and will even include melt inclusion studies. Fluid phase studies are directed at fluid-rock reactions and are usually studied using fluid inclusions trapped in minerals. This course is predominantly a series of lectures and seminars, with individually directed, lab-based fluid inclusion stage, cathodoluminescent analysis, and SEM-EDS studies.
