This course deals with microtectonics.
Microscale structural fabrics in metamorphic rocks. Deciphering structural and
metamorphic events from thin-sections. Shear zone tectonics and cataclastic
microfabrics, stress quantification. Shock deformation and metamorphism.
Microstructural indicators of stress. Chemical changes accompanying
deformation.
Intended learning outcomes
This course is designed to achieve the general objectives in the form of outputs that the student is supposed to acquire after successfully completing the course, as follows:1. The student plans to study the deformation by determining the directions of cutting the rock slides.2. Evaluates published data and uses computational methods to reinforce results and conclusions.3. The student uses the microscope efficiently.4. Plans, conducts or supervises field and laboratory studies.
