This site is part of a petrology course offered by Dr. Steve Dutch at the University of Wisconsin at Green Bay. Topics covered include the phase rule, metamorphic phases and phase diagrams (including ACF diagrams, A'KF diagrams, AFM diagrams, and CaO-MgO-SiO2 diagrams), and their evolution. Colorful diagrams accompany the text.
