on
Metamorphic Petrology
 |
See video |
Introducing an new concept in Earth Science teaching, Dr. H. Thomas, Department of Applied Geology, Faculty of Engineering, Dr.H.S.G. Central University, Sagar (M.P.) has recorded 23 lecture series on metamorphic petrology based on Curriculum of B.Sc (Hons.), M.Sc./M.Tech Applied geology, right from definition of metamorphic petrology up to the comparison of individual rocks like pelitic, basic, calcareous and ultrabasic etc. in a multimedia platform.
This multimedia lecture series on metamorphic petrology is very beneficial for UG & PG students of Geology/Applied Geology for their better understanding in metamorphic petrology. It is indeed required at the time of teaching and learning to introduce multimedia aspects for practical approaches. The University Grant Commission (UGC) and Consortium for Educational Communication (CEC) has continuously been contributing in the mission of education through video lecture series and others “Syllabus based” programmes for the most popular “Gyandarshan” telecast for UGC-CEC in country wide class room on Doordarshan (DD1) and their own T.V. “Vyas” channel (Higher Education Channel of India), also now available on Doordarshan DTH, service.
It is also worth mentioning that Mr Pankaj Tiwari, Senior Producers of EM2RC, Sagar has directed the Video Lecture Series. This lecture series contains 23 lectures, which are well shot and edited mixed with interesting graphics, animation and live visuals of the subjects.
This multimedia Lecture series on metamorphic petrology (MP) cover the following portion of the metamorphic petrology:
MP1: Definition of metamorphism, metamorphic process, and classification based on plate tectonic setting etc;
MP2: Factor/variable responsible for metamorphism, zone, grade and facies of metamorphism;
MP3: Concept of metamorphic facies, facies series, and their classification;
MP4: Isograde, classification given by Miyashiro, Abukuma type of metamorphism etc;
MP5: Classification of metamorphic rocks, contact, regional, burial metamorphism, texture and structures of metamorphic rocks etc;
MP6: Triangular ACF diagram;
MP7: Calculation scheme for AKF & AFM diagram;
MP8: Medium to high pressure facies like zeolite facies;
MP9: Green schist facies and its P-T condition;
MP10: Amphibolite facies metamorphism part-I;
MP11: Amphibolite facies and its P-T condition part-II;
MP12: Granulite facies metamorphism part-I;
MP13: Granulite facies and its P-T condition and deWaard classification etc;
MP14: Albite-epidote-hornfels facie and its P-T condition;
MP15: Hornblende-hornfels facies and its P-T condition etc;
MP16: Pyroxene hornfels facies and its P-T condition;
MP17: Sanidinite facies and its P-T condition;
MP18: Higher pressure facies i.e. blue schist facies and Eclogite facies;
MP19: Comparative study of progressive regional metamorphism of pelitic rocks;
MP20: Comparative study of basic rocks;
MP21: Progressive regional metamorphism of calcareous and ultrabasic rocks;
MP22: Thermal metamorphism of pelitic rocks; and
MP23: Comparative studies of thermal metamorphism of impure calcareous rocks.
