Volcanic Geology B - GEOS814

This unit examines modern (Cainozoic) magmatic environments of the Pacific as a key to reconstruction of ancient magmatic environments. Field work and literature research form the basis for description and interpretation of the active magmatic environments of New Zealand (or a similar Pacific-based magmatic setting) and assessment of their relevance to reconstruction of ancient volcanic-plutonic terrains. Fieldwork will be conducted in a relevant area during February (of odd years).
