Stable and Radiogenic Isotopes in Igneous Petrology - Geochronology and Isotope Tracers

This course covers the use of stable and radiogenic isotopes in geology, focusing on their applications in igneous petrology and geochronology. Students will learn about stable isotope fractionation, geothermometry, and isotope tracers, as well as radiogenic isotopes like potassium argon dating, argon argon dating, and uranium lead dating. The course also touches on isotope petrogenesis and the use of different isotope pairs to determine magma sources. The intended audience for this course includes geology enthusiasts, students, and professionals interested in understanding the role of isotopes in geological processes.
