This course will introduce some of the main quantitative methods available for the quantitative treatment of geochemical data, as well as the main modelling tools. Emphasis will both be on conceptual understanding of these methods as well as on their practical application, using key software packages to analyse real geochemical datasets.

In the lecture part, the objective of this course is to understand the basic concepts needed to understand the evolution, structure, and dynamics of the Earth from the perspectives of the mineralogy and crystallography.In the exercise part, the students familiarize with about 70 minerals and their macroscopic properties.
