>Course Description: The purpose of this course is to introduce the
>participants to the integration of geochemical, fabric and fluid inclusion
>data in interpreting the formation and significance of veins.  It is
>intended for those with little background in geochemistry yet an interest
>in unraveling the fluid sources, conditions of formation and tectonic
>significance of veins.  The format will be lectures, case histories and
>exercises.  Topics covered include:  Overview of vein research, hydrology
>of veins, subsurface fluids and precipitation kinetics, application of
>isotopes to veins, problems and potential of fluid inclusions in veins,
>case histories of the application of structural geology and geochemistry to
>understanding fluid composition, temperature and pressure during tectonism.
>
>Recommended background: one year of college chemistry and a first course in
>geochemistry are highly recommended.
>
>What you will learn: An appreciation for the complexities of chemical mass
>transport in the subsurface vein environment leading to mineral
>precipitation; the interplay between mechanics, kinematics and geochemistry
>of veining; case histories of vein filling and fabrics and estimates of
>fluid composition, P & T during deformation.
