Petrology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores how rocks form through field surveys and analysis of rocks.
AboutAbout the lab
Reading how rocks form from field surveys and analysis.
The Petrology Lab conducts research that clarifies the formation mechanisms of rocks and tectonics through rock field surveys and elemental and isotope analysis.
Professor Toshiaki Tsunogae analyzes metamorphic rocks found in orogenic belts in India and Africa.
Associate Professor Kei Ikehata analyzes the behavior of volatile and chalcophile elements in magma.
Graduation research includes work on rocks from Antarctica and India.
Key terms
- Metamorphic rock
- Rock formed when an original rock is changed underground by altered conditions such as heat and pressure
- Isotope
- Atoms of the same element that differ slightly in weight. They are used in the analysis of rocks
- Tectonics
- A way of viewing the large-scale movements of the Earth's crust that form continents and mountain ranges
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to clarify how rocks formed and the tectonics of the Earth through field surveys of rocks and elemental and isotope analysis. Graduation research has covered the origin of magma and forecasting the progression of volcanic eruptions, the formation mechanisms of seafloor hydrothermal deposits, material cycling between the mantle and crust, and the ages and formation history of rocks from Antarctica and India.
