Petrogenesis of Metamorphic Rocks presents a large number of
diagrams showing the stability relations among minerals and groups
of minerals found in metamorphic rocks. The diagrams help to
determine the pressure and temperature conditions under which a
given set of metamorphic rocks may have formed. Other parameters
that control metamorphic mineral assemblages are also discussed and
pitfalls resulting from simplifications and generalizations are
highlighted. The book discusses the most common metamorphic rock
types, their nomenclature, structure and graphical representation
of their mineral assemblages. Part I defines basic principles of
metamorphism, introduces metamorphic processes, geologic
thermometry and barometry and defines metamorphic grade. Part II
presents in a systematic way mineralogical changes and assemblages
found in the most common types of metamorphic rocks. The
computation of diagrams is based on recent advances in quantitative
petrology and geochemistry. An extensive bibliography, including
the key contributions and classic papers in the field, make it an
invaluable source book for graduate students and professional
geologists.
