Teaching Metamorphic Petrology


The links below are to web pages that contain some of the resources I have been working on to help teach metamorphic petrology concepts in an introductory petrology class. These materials are mostly housed at the website developed for the 2003 workshop "Teaching Petrology in the 21st Century".

Metastability and Metamorphism
Isograd and Mixed-Volatile Exercise
