Processes involved in the development of igneous and metamorphic
rocks involve some combination of crystal growth, solution,
movement and deformation, which is expressed as changes in texture
(microstructure). Advances in the quantification of aspects of
crystalline rock textures, such as crystal size, shape, orientation
and position, have opened fresh avenues of research that extend and
complement the more dominant chemical and isotopic studies. This
book discusses the aspects of petrological theory necessary to
understand the development of crystalline rock texture. It develops
the methodological basis of quantitative textural measurements and
shows how much can be achieved with limited resources. Typical
applications to petrological problems are discussed for each type
of measurement. This book will be of great interest to all
researchers and graduate students in petrology.
