Knowledge
The student who successfully completes will acquire a solid knowledge of the main terrestrial reservoirs and of the variation of the physical-chemical parameters with depth. He/She will learn how to use thermodynamic data for mineral phases, silicate liquids and fluids in order to determine the state of equilibrium of a system and know how to use geotermobarometers in igneous and metamorphic systems and how to read and interpret diagrams of phase for one, two and three components.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
The student must demonstrate the ability to put into practice and to execute, with critical awareness, the activities illustrated or carried out under the guidance of the teacher during the course.
