1 COURSE OVERVIEW
This unit of study relates plate tectonics to a) volcanoes
and their hazards; b) geological processes in the deep
crust; c) the formation of precious metal and gemstone
ores around the Pacific Rim; and d) an understanding of
how Earth's materials (minerals, rocks, rock formations,
lithospheric plates etc.) respond the forces that deform
them. Methods of analysis involve studies at the micro-
scopic scale (performed on thin sections) and the
mesoscopic scale performed on hand specimens and out-
crops. The unit includes a two to three days field trip to
study an extinct volcano in NSW.

of volcanoes lie deep in
the mantle where partial melting occurs. Derek will show you
how mantle melting is not always due to rising temperature and
will describe the mechanisms through which the geochemistry of

Finally from Week 10 to 13, Patrice Rey will introduce key Structural
Geology concepts and tools to study and understand rocks deforma-

commonly develop in subduction zones and other deep crust envi-
ronments. Patrice will address the development of ductile shear

Practical reports (25%), field trip (15%), project/report (5%), quiz (5%) and final exam (50%)
Late practicals attract a mark penalty of 10% per day unless a special consideration request is approved. Special consideration forms
(lodged within 3 days) will be considered as a basis for extension of assignment deadlines. Missing compulsory reports lead to an Absent
Fail (AF), with a maximum mark of 49.

(2) It is reasonable to consider that the student has intended to de-
ceive the examiner where substantial portions of the work submitted
for assessment were copied from another student, or from the work
of a former student, in a manner which clearly exceeds the bounda-
ries of legitimate cooperation or group work.
You are advised that if you utilise old assignments from students
who are enrolled in this unit or have previously taken this unit for as-
sistance in their own work you will be "submitting another student's
work". For the purposes of this course, students who use old assign-
ments and the students who provide them violate the policy and will
be disciplined to the full extent of the policy, which can include ex-
pulsion from the University. All other components of the policy are
applicable as stated in the Policy on Academic Honesty in Course-
work.
Note that under new University policy, all written work must be sub-
mitted to Turnitin text matching software that checks submitted as-
signments for originality against other students' assignments,
against current and archived Internet content, and against the con- EPA/DEDI Sahputra
tent of major professional journals, periodicals and business publica-
tions, and can create an originality report for submitted assign-
ments.
