Opportunità di tesi di Laurea Magistrale in GGT

1 - Studio di Inclusioni di Fuso in Granuliti
Studio combinato di terreno, petrografia di dettaglio, microchimica e petrologia sperimentale (rifusione di inclusioni) sulle rocce migmatitiche di Ronda (Spagna) o della Zona di Ivrea e della valle di Kaligandaki (Nepal). Collaborazioni previste con le Università di Granada, Milano e Torino.

2 - Petrologia in rocce metamorfiche di Alto Grado e Anatettiche
Studio combinato di terreno, petrografia di dettaglio, microchimica e equilibri di fase tramite modellizzazione termodinamica sulle rocce granulitiche del Kerala Khondalite Belt (India) o di Ronda (Spagna). Collaborazioni previste con le Università di Granada e Zurigo.

3 – Altri Argomenti
Varie altre possibilità su tematiche generalmente collegate a metamorfismo di alto grado e anatessi, e allo studio di inclusioni fluide o di fuso.
