S. Farooq, Dept of Geology AMU

I am engaged in teaching a number of courses at the graduate and post-graduate levels. Most of my lecture notes and tutorials are available on this website. The notes are meant to be supplemental reading material for students taking my courses, and as such I have tried to organize this section in the following categories:

Ore Deposits and the Tectonic Cycle
Evolution of Continents
Metallogeny through Time
Global Metallogeny in Relation to Crustal Evolution
Metallogeny in Modern Basins
Major Ore Types of India and their Tectonic Settings
Global Metallogeny in Relation to Plate Tectonics
Factors governing the disposition of Metallogenic Provinces
Mineralization along Convergent and Collisional Plate Boundary Environments
Mineralization along Divergent Plate Boundary Environments and Transform Faults
Mineralization along Early and Late-Stage Continental Rifting
Applications of Textural Characterists to Ore Dressing
Ore Microscopic Techniques
Sample Preparation for Ore Microscopy

Tutorials & Lecture Notes

B.Sc. (Hons) Geology

M.Sc. (Wildlife Sciences)

Importance of Geological Fieldwork

NOTE: Most of the Tutorials and Lecture Notes are in PDF format, which means that you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on the computer you use to access these. If your machine does not have Acrobat Reader installed, click here to download and install the same.
