Course Overview
Metamorphic Petrology & Thermodynamics Certification will examine the mechanisms of metamorphism, the description, and categorization of metamorphic rocks, as well as how to gather data from metamorphic rocks and minerals to ascertain the circumstances of their genesis.
Metamorphic Petrology & Thermodynamics Classes emphasizes petrology include those on Geology & Its Perspective, Geology Careers, Structure and categorization of silicate minerals are included, as well as information on the definition of metamorphism, factors that influence it, and the several types of metamorphism, including contact, regional, fault zone, and impact metamorphism.
Students' comprehension of the principles and processes involved in the formation and evolution of metamorphic rocks is undoubtedly improved by the Metamorphic Petrology & Thermodynamics Certification Syllabus.
All eligible students will receive a Metamorphic Petrology & Thermodynamics Certification by Dr. Harisingh Gour Vishwavidyalaya, Sagar (A Central University) under the Swayam Initiative by the Government of India.

What you will learn
According to the Metamorphic Petrology & Thermodynamics Certification Course, metamorphic rocks are the most prevalent type of rock on Earth. By studying these rocks, we may place limits on the pressure, stress, and temperature levels in the crust and mantle as well as on the bulk composition of these settings.
Metamorphic Petrology & Thermodynamics Training includes the study of factors that can modify the composition, form, and mineralogy of rocks, among other things - you can further learn about this in Geotechnical Engineering Certification Courses.
The following learning outcomes are achieved upon successful conclusion of this Metamorphic Petrology & Thermodynamics Certification:
- Quantitative estimation of P-T conditions using reaction texture forward and backward modelling.
- Response to altering chemical, pressure, and temperature conditions in the interior of the Earth.
