Geology/Expert Profile

Expertise
I can take questions about general geology, and mineralogy. In addition I have some expertise in the field of mineral deposits related to igneous rocks and igneous processes, especially processes pertaining to the formation of alkaline and siliceous igneous rocks.
Experience in the area
I am a masters of science degree student on economic geology.
Publications
This is a free booklet on classification of igneous rocks I have translated from English to Farsi which is available for Farsi-speaking users for free use. http://rapidshare.com/files/64295631/Classification_of_Igneous_rocks.pdf
Education/Credentials
I have a bachelor's degree on general geology from Tehran university, Iran. And now I am doing my Masters of science. Right now, I am doing a research on deposits related to granitic igneous rocks such as uranium deposits.
What do you like about this subject?
Geology is a multi-facet science. I like mineralogy and geochemistry the most. Currently there are a lot of things unkonwn and a lot of study yet has to be done.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
I hope I will be able to publish an article about the deposits available in granitic rocks soon in one of the international magazines.
