Optical Mineralogy - GEOL 4320
Principles of transmitted light within isotropic and anisotropic crystals, and the identification of minerals by observation and measurement of their behavior in plane-polarized light. Emphasis on variations due to chemical changes in the common rock-forming silicates. Prerequisite: GEOL 2305.
Isotope Geochemistry - GCH 5350
Principals of isotope chemistry as applied to the earth and solar system. Radioactive and stable isotope systematics.
