Course content
1. Introduction, definition, phase composition of fluid inclusions, genetic classification, and practical demontration. 2. Non-destructive research methods: microthermometry, Raman spectrometry 3. Destructive research methods: (crush-leach analyses, decrepitation, chromatography, electron microprobe, stable and radiogenic isotopes) 4. Use of fluid inclusion investigations in geology and other sciences 5. Examples and case studies.
