2019-2020 Catalog Year

Credit(s): 3
Lecture: 2
Non-Lecture: 3
The theory and use of the petrographic microscope and analytical data as applied to the study of mineralogy and petrology. The behavior of polarized light through minerals in thin sections is emphasized in order to understand techniques commonly used in geologic research. When integrated together, microscopy and data present a more holistic approach to mineralogical and petrologic studies.

Prerequisite(s): GSCI 220.
