We provide detailed background, theoretical and practical, on the specific heat of minerals
and mixtures thereof,'astro-materials,'as well as background information on common …

Feldspars are among the most common minerals in the Earth's crust, and are found in a
variety of rock types. Diffusion in feldspars has been studied for well over half a century, with …

Abstract The rate of CaAl-NaSi interdiffusion in plagioclase feldspar was determined under 1
atm anhydrous conditions over the temperature range 1400° to 1000° C in calcic …

This study assesses temperatures of formation of common granulites by combining
experimental constraints on the P–T stability of granulite-facies mineral associations with a …

Geochemical Kinetics is a textbook for graduate students and advanced undergraduate
students. This book is based on my courses on geochemical kinetics at the University of …

MICROBIAL activity in aquifers plays an important part in the chemical evolution of ground
water1–5. The most important terminal electron-accepting microbial processes in deeply …

The aim of this chapter is:(a) to summarize the results of experimental studies which have
been used to explain the formation of migmatites;(b) to evaluate the significance of these …

In ordinary chondrites (OCs), feldspar is present both in chondrules as a primary, igneous
phase, and as a secondary phase that results from crystallization of chondrule mesostasis …

Kinetic experiments involving the homogenization offine-scale, coherent (001) pigeonite
lamellae in a sub-calcic diopside have been used to constrain Ca-Mg interdiffusion …

We describe the Library of Experimental Phase Relations (LEPR), which is a new Web‐
based database of experiments pertaining to magmatic phase equilibria. The database …
