About the course

The course addresses the geochemistry of volcanic rocks from a variety of settings including subduction zones, intraplate volcanism and exotic volcanism. Magmatic systems with focus on granites, layered intrusions and magma plumbing. You will get hands on experience of using geochemical data through project work. Courses 1MP046, 1MP036 and 1MP037 are designed to fit together.
