Mineralogy and Petrology at Texas Tech
Faculty and
students in the department conduct research in the fields of
igneous and metamorphic petrology, mineralogy and
crystallography. Much of the research is field-oriented with
current projects working in the Klamath Mountains
(California & Oregon), the Ruby Mountains (Nevada), the
Caledonides of central Norway, the Seiland and Tysfjord
regions of north Norway, as well as west Texas and eastern
New Mexico.
For more
detailed project descriptions please the webpages of
individual faculty members.
The
department also teaches a diversity of courses in the fields
of mineralogy and petrology, including:
-
-
GEOL 4320 - Optical Mineralogy and
Crystallography
-
GEOL 4321 - Igneous and Metamorphic
Petrography
