Sinopsis

The Atlas of Minerals and Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks in Thin-Section provides the geology student and geoscientist with a stunning new color atlas of the main rock-forming minerals and igneous and metamorphic rocks in thin-section. It showcases minerals in various settings and degrees of alteration and preservation to allow users to best identify their own specimens in practice. Chapter 1 highlights the distinctive characteristics used to identify different minerals. Building on this base, following chapters describe rock textures and types, summarizing their petrogenesis within a plate tectonic framework. This book also includes insights into how additional information from petrographic thin-sections can be obtained using modern analytical methods to increase our understanding of geological processes. The Atlas is an indispensable reference textbook for all facilities that use a petrographic microscope, for professional geoscientists, and as an aid for any student studying minerals and rocks.

Acerca de los autores

Alessandro Da Mommio completed his PhD in geology at the University of Milan in 2015. With a long-standing expertise in petrography since his undergraduate studies, he has developed a distinguished website dedicated to his specialty: the petrography of minerals and rocks. In 2014, one of his images secured second place in the Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition. He's currently teaching science and mathematics.

Victoria Pease is Professor of Tectonics and Magmatism at Stockholm University. Her research focuses on Arctic tectonics. She has been teaching the next generation of geologists for more than 20 years. She sits on a number of international scientific committees and is Chief Editor of Precambrian Research. Victoria is co-author (with Hugh Rollinson) of the reference textbook Using Geochemical Data: To Understand Geological Processes, Second Edition (2021, Cambridge University Press).
