| 651-4051-00L | Reflected Light Microscopy and Ore Deposits Practical  | 2 KP | 2P | T. Driesner | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | Introduction to reflected light microscopy. Use of the microscope. Identification of opaque minerals through the use of determination tables. Description of textures and paragenetic sequences. Taking the course in parallel with Ore Deposits I (651-4037-00L) is recommended but not mandatory. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | Recognition of the most important ore minerals in polished section, interpretation of ore mineral textures from important ore deposit types (of hydrothermal, magmatic, sedimentary and metamorphic origin) in geological context. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | Introduction to reflected light microscopy as a petrographic technique. Leaning main diagnostic criteria. Study of a small selection of important and characteristic ore minerals. Interpreting polished (thin) sections from the most important ore deposit types. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skript | Lecture ppt's and determination tables are handed out in class | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Second edition, John Wiley Publisher, New York, 434 pp. Good graduate level introductory textbook, covers principles of reflected-light microscopy, interpretation of ore textures and most common ore mineral assemblages.

Atlases in Geosciences 3, Elsevier, 875 pp. (Comprehensive collection of photomicrographs of ore minerals in reflected light.

| 651-4069-00L | Fluid and Melt Inclusions: Theory and Practice Findet dieses Semester nicht statt. | 3 KP | 3P | T. Driesner | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | Block course involving lectures, exercises and practical application of inclusion petrography, microthermometry, Raman and LA-ICPMS microanlysis | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | Practical ability to carry out a meaningful fluid or melt inclusion study in the fields of geochemistry, petrology or resource geology, involving problem definition, research planning, quantitative measurements using a combination of techniques, critical interpretation and correct documentation of results. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skript | Handouts with extensive list of primary literature available | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Literatur | Goldstein and Reynolds (1994): CD available for in-house use | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 651-4221-00L | Numerical Modelling of Ore Forming Hydrothermal Processes | 3 KP | 2G | T. Driesner | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | Introduction to computer tools for the simulation of hydrothermal fluid flow and hydrothermal reactions. The computer programs are handed out to the students and can be run on normal laptop PCs (Windows operating system; MAC or Linux users will have to install a virtual machine or team up with a colleague with a Window computer). No programming knowledge is necessary. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | Learn how to use the simulation programs HYDROTHERM and Geochemist's Workbench to explore how hydrothermal ore deposition works. In addition, you'll learn how natural geothermal systems work and what controls their energy content. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | Introduction to computer tools for the simulation of hydrothermal processes: HYDROTHERM for fluid flow simulations, Geochemist's Workbench for thermodynamic modeling. While learning the respective computer programs is an essential part of the course, the emphasis will be on using these tools to learn how the physics and chemistry of hydrothermal system actually work. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skript | Computer programs and course material will be distributed during the course. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
