Main courses taught (see also my teaching page)

1. •EPSC 445 Metamorphic Petrology -  An advanced petrology course aimed at senior undergraduate students that discusses topics including metamorphic phase relations, petrogenetic grids and pseudosections, AFM/AFK/ACF compositional analysis, and the characteristic metamorphism of common bulk protoliths and geotectonic settings.
   

2. •EPSC 552 Geostatistics and Data Analysis -  A comprehensive statistics course for undergraduate and graduate students that goes from basic data descriptors to statistical testing, multivariate methods and spatial data analysis.
   

3. •EPSC 331 + 341 Massif Central fieldschool  -  This 4-week fieldschool in France consists of bedrock mapping in a high-grade metamorphic belt, a geochemical survey of stream waters and sediments, and geochemical mapping at an abandoned antimony-lead-silver mine.
   

4. •Pseudosection modelling  -  This graduate-level course makes students familiar with the concepts and theory of thermodynamic modelling of metamorphic rocks and their associated melts and fluids, and to become expert users of thew Perple_X suite of pseudosection modelling software. The aims are to learn to extract information on P, T, fO2 and fluid composition from natural rocks, and to forward model rocks in geotectonic settings.
