Garnet could be the ultimate petrochronometer. Not only can you date it directly (with an
accuracy and precision that may surprise some), but it is also a common rock-forming and …

Ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) metamorphism is the most thermally extreme type of crustal
metamorphism, with the crust capable of withstanding temperatures≥ 900° C. Mineral …

The thermodynamic properties of 254 end‐members, including 210 mineral end‐members,
18 silicate liquid end‐members and 26 aqueous fluid species are presented in a revised …

The thermodynamic properties of 154 mineral end‐members, 13 silicate liquid end‐
members and 22 aqueous fluid species are presented in a revised and updated data set …

The vestiges of life in Eoarchean rocks have the potential to elucidate the origin of life.
However, gathering evidence from many terrains is not always possible,,, and biogenic …

The Al-in-homblende barometer potentially offers a basis for estimating crystallization
pressure for granitic batholiths. However, owing to the simplicity of its formulation, misuse of …

Mineral equilibria calculations in the system K2O–FeO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2–H2O–TiO2–
Fe2O3 (KFMASHTO) using thermocalc and its internally consistent thermodynamic dataset …

Improved activity–composition relationships for biotite, garnet and silicate liquid are used to
construct updated P–T grids and pseudosections for high‐grade metapelites. The biotite …

In order to provide additional constraints on models for partial melting of common
metasediments, we have studied experimentally the melting of a natural metapelite under …

Experimental investigation of the fluid absent melting reaction biotite+ plagioclase+
