    Problem set: Constructing metamorphic phase diagrams using phase equilibria and the Clausius-Clapeyron equation part of Petrology:Teaching Examples
    , Smith College
    In this problem set students construct a P-T phase diagram for the aluminosilicate polymorphs based on experimental phase equilibria and application of the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. The problem set uses unit ...

    Metamorphism of siliceous dolostone: An example from the Alta stock, Utah part of Petrology:Teaching Examples
    Cameron Davidson, Carleton College
    In this exercise students study the low variance mineral assemblages from the contact aureole of the Alta stock to learn how rock and fluid compositions control mineral assemblages during contact metamorphism.

    Metamorphic Rocks Lab part of Introductory Courses:Activities
    Ann Hadley, Manchester Community College
    Students describe rock characteristics and determine if a rock sample is metamorphic. If it is, they determine the parent rock. If not, they describe what it would change into as a metamorphic rock. The whole class ...
