	Petrology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Petrology is a field of geology which focuses on the study of rocks and the conditions by which they form.
		Sedimentary petrology focuses on the composition and texture of sedimentary rocks (rocks such as sandstone or limestone which consist of sedimentary particles bound together in a matrix of finer material).
		Petrology utilizes the classical fields of mineralogy, microscopic petrography, and chemical analyses to describe the composition and texture of rocks.

		The petrology, high-temperature geochemistry and economic geology group leads integrated field, laboratory and theoretical research to unravel several challenging sets of problems in igneous and metamorphic petrology and economic geology.
		In these studies, field mapping, structural interpretations, mineral assemblages in metamorphic rocks and the petrology and geochemistry of igneous rocks are used to deduce pressure-temperature-time paths of orogenic events and the relationships among crustal deformation, heat flow, melt generation, and pluton emplacement.
		The fourth research area of this group is investigation of the physical and thermodynamic properties of magma, such as density and viscosity, and particularly the effect of dissolved volatiles such as water, since these play a major role in determining the nature of volcanic eruptions (explosive or gentle).
