Description: Structural geology and petrochronology studies take advantage of
quantitative microstructural analyses via Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) to better understand
complex crystallization and deformation histories. This short course will provide basic concepts of
routine to advanced EBSD data collection and analysis. Topics will touch on sample preparation,
analytical setup, and offline data handling.
