Geochemistry and Petrology

Your week kicks off with an 8 AM Intro to Mineralogy lecture, examining silicate structures and symmetry. You meticulously take notes, trying to keep up with the professor's rapid-fire explanations of unit cells. Later, in General Chemistry, you grapple with balancing redox equations, a skill crucial for understanding geochemical processes. After lunch, you spend an hour in the campus library, sifting through an online crystallography textbook chapter, preparing for your first lab report. You grab coffee with a classmate, discussing a confusing concept from the morning's lecture, solidifying new connections.
