GEOL 201 - Mineralogy & Optical Crystallography


Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 4 hours
Attribute: 4NS, QP-F
Most of our planet is made of minerals, the physical properties of which play important roles in geologic processes from the plate-tectonic to the nano- scales. This course examines the relationships between the structure, chemistry, physical and optical properties of minerals, their occurrence, and their relevance to the various branches of earth science. We will explore these concepts through laboratory exercises on crystal morphology and symmetry, optical mineralogy, x-ray diffraction, and electron microscopy.
Enrollment Limit: 20
Instructor: F. Page
Prerequisites & Notes
Geology 120.
