These lecture notes introduce regional metamorphism in the context of Buchan and Barrovian metamorphism. Buchan metamorphism is discussed with an example in northern New England. The Barrovian Facies Series is discussed with reference to the mineralogy of each zone. Explanations of facies assemblages are accompanied by a table showing AFM, ACF, CFM, and CMS diagrams for the zeolite, prehnite-pumpellyite, greenschist, amphibolite, and granulite facies. An example of Barrovian metamorphism in the Southern Appalachian orogen is also discussed.
