Learning objectives
Obiettivo del Corso è l'applicazione dell'analisi strutturale e petrologica dei terreni magmatici e metamorfici, fornendo gli strumenti analitici su base strutturale per l'interpretazione dell'evoluzione magmatica e metamorfica. Inoltre comprende una parte teorica cospicua dedicata all'analisi microstrutturale delle rocce polimetamorfiche polideformate, delle peridotiti di mantello e delle rocce ignee.

Course syllabus
BASEMENT GEOLOGY AND LABORATORY
Application of multiscale structural analysis to polydeformed rocks in metamorphic and igneous terrains by means of: geometrical analysis at the meso and mega-scale; individuation of a sampling strategy; microstructural analysis. Foliation mechanisms. Rheology of polymineralic and polycristalline aggregates (flow types and flow laws). Deformation mechanisms maps and rheologic envelopes. Deformation, recovery and recrystallisation of the rock forming minerals. Porphyroblast-matrix relationships. Veins, pressure shadows and microboudinage. Kinematic indicators. Coronites. PTdt paths reconstruction. Mantle peridotites microstructures. Intrusive igneous rock meso and megascale geometries. Magmatic and submagmatic deformation at the micro and meso scale. Basaltic microstructures related to CMF. Review of the main microstructural techniques.

Practical work consists of thin section microstructural analysis and application of an integrated analytical approach for the investigation and interpretation of a case history.
