Petrogenesis of Metamorphic Rocks
註釋The new edition of Winkler's textbook, completely revised by K. Bucher and M. Frey, is written at the same level as the preceding editions. Numerous diagrams showing the stability relations among minerals found in metamorphic rocks help to determine the pressure and temperature conditions under which a given set of metamorphic rocks may have formed.
Part I explains basic principles of metamorphism, introduces metamorphic processes and geologic thermobarometry, and defines metamorphic grade. Part II presents in a systematic way mineralogical changes and assemblages found in the most common types of rocks. The computation of the diagrams is based on recent advances in quantitative petrology and geochemistry. An extensive bibliography makes it an invaluable source book for graduate students and professional geologists.
