| Theoretical program Topic 1: INTRODUCTION TO GEOCHEMISTRY AND MINERALOGY Topic 2: GENESIS AND ORIGIN OF CHEMICAL ELEMENTS IN THE UNIVERSE Topic 3: ISOTOPIC GEOCHEMISTRY Tema 4: STRUCTURE AND INTERNAL COMPOSITION OF THE EARTH Topic 5: TERRESTRIAL DYNAMICS Topic 6: GEOCHEMICAL DIFFERENTIATION OF ELEMENTS IN THE EARTH Topic 7: MINERAL AND GEOLOGIC MATERIALS Topic 8: CHEMICAL MINERALOGY AND MINERAL PHYSICS Topic 9: DESCRIPTIVE MINERALOGY Topic 10: MINERAL RESOURCES Practice program: 1. Five sessions of 3 daily hours in the morning or in the afternoon, distributed in groups. 2. Obligatory attendance. 3. It is recommended to carry out a laboratory notebook. 4. Practices will be carried out individually or in groups, in function of available material in the laboratory. 5. List of practices to carry out: a) Identification of symmetry elements and stereographic projection of those, in different crystalline classes (mainly cubic,dimetric and rhombic systems). b) Crystalographic techniques for mineral analysis (brief introduction to X-ray diffraction). Application of Hannawalt method to identification of mineral mixtures. c) Determining structural formula of silicated minerals,based on data of chemical and crystalographic analysis. d) Visual recognition of mineral samples. e) Visual recognition of rock samples.
