3 Motivating questions What can we learn through the integration of geophysical data and petrology to better understand metamorphic and structural processes at a variety of scales? How can we use the knowledge of this petrophysical architecture to aid in understanding ancient and modern crustal processes? Jeffrey R. Webber (UMass-Amherst) AGT petrophysics March 20, / 24
