Uniquely follows plate tectonics cycles, integrating igneous and metamorphic topics to engage and educate future Earth scientists.

Petrology and Plate Tectonics, First Edition presents a groundbreaking approach to teaching petrology by using plate tectonics as a unifying theme and integrating igneous and metamorphic topics to equip students with a clearer understanding of essential geological concepts.

Students gain deeper insights into vital concepts such as the movement of matter through Earth's crust and mantle, the interplay between petrologic cycles and surface processes, the whole Earth's water cycle, landscape evolution, and the formation of critical element deposits.

This holistic approach illustrates how petrology influences and is shaped by Earth's evolving systems, including climate change, mass extinctions, and geological hazards.

Allen Glazner is Distinguished Professor of Geology Emeritus at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He earned a B.A. in Geology from Pomona College and a Ph.D. in Geology from the University of California at Los Angeles. An award-winning teacher specializing in igneous petrology, tectonics, and geoinformatics, he is also author of five books in the popular Geology Underfoot.series.

Matt Kohn is Distinguished Professor in Geosciences at Boise State University. He earned a B.S. in Geology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Geology from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He uses geochemistry of metamorphic rocks to investigate orogenesis and geochemistry of fossil teeth to study Cenozoic paleoclimate and paleoecology. His book Tested describes his adventures in China during the pandemic.
