Plate tectonic forcing leads to changes in the physical conditions that affect the lithosphere.
In response to such changes, notably the local temperature (T) and pressure (P), rocks …

The study of active and fossil hydrothermal systems shows clay minerals to be a
fundamental tool for the identification and characterization of hydrothermal alteration facies …

XMapTools is a MATLAB©-based graphical user interface program for electron microprobe
X-ray image processing, which can be used to estimate the pressure–temperature …

Compositional mapping has greatly impacted mineralogical and petrological studies over
the past half-century with increasing use of the electron probe micro-analyser. Many …

The evolution of chlorite composition with temperature (and pressure) serves as basis to a
number of chlorite chemical thermometers, for which the oxidation state of iron has been …

We present a new thermodynamic activity-composition model for di-trioctahedral chlorite in
the system FeO–MgO–Al 2 O 3–SiO 2–H 2 O that is based on the Holland–Powell internally …

Alteration of ultramafic rocks plays a major role in the production of hydrocarbons and
organic compounds via abiotic processes on Earth and beyond and contributes to the …

The astonishing progress of personal computer technology in the past 30 years as well as
the availability of thermodynamic data and modeling programs have revolutionized our …

The chlorites are good indicators of rock history because their wide compositional variations
are sensitive to the formation conditions, like pressure (P), temperature (T), redox state, fluid …

Low-temperature chlorites formed in diagenetic to low-grade metamorphic environments
generally have greater Si contents and larger numbers of octahedral vacancies, and smaller …
