Practical Aspects of Mineral Thermobarometry

THERMOCALC tips and special notes

These pages will feature some particular issues in phase diagram and pseudosection construction. Initially I have in mind the following:

  • Bulk composition considerations: the equilibration volume, fractionation effects.
  • Use of isopleths, e.g. for locating the start of garnet growth.

Some material should be ready in the next couple of months.
