Metamorphism of Pure vs Impure Carbonates - Marbles vs Calc-Silicates

This course covers the metamorphism of pure and impure carbonates, specifically marbles and calc-silicates. The learning outcomes include understanding the formation sequence of calc-silicates, mineral transitions in marble based on pressure-temperature-carbon dioxide conditions, and different types of carbonate metamorphism. The course teaches skills such as identifying metamorphic minerals in thin sections, analyzing hand specimens, and recognizing mineral assemblages. The teaching method includes video lectures with references and helpful resources. The intended audience for this course is individuals interested in geology, mineralogy, or earth sciences.
