Microtectonics
 
This course deals with the description and interpretation of small scale structures in deformed rocks as seen in thin section through the optical microscope. The course is meant for graduate students. In this course, we will introduction the observations on the microstructure or fabric of a rock, specifically in thin section and this fabric is used to reconstruct the structural and metamorphic history of a volume of rock.
