Experimental metamorphic petrology
Reviews of Geophysics, 1975The past quadrennium, 1971–1974 inclusive, has seen a great variety of published work in experimental metamorphic petrology. Numerous phase equilibrium studies as well as many determinations of physical properties of minerals have been produced. Whereas the last report contained 270 references, this report contains over 475, illustrative not only of ...

Reviews of Geophysics, 1983
Continued advances in thermodynamic models of mineral and fluid equilibrium and in the kinetics of mineral reactions have made metamorphic petrology a quantitative science. Thermometers and barometers for many rocks are accurate enough to locate the origin of the rocks in the crust and mantle, and the development of kinetic models promises to enable ...

METPET: Metamorphic petrology microcomputer programs
Journal of Metamorphic Geology, 1990METPET is a package of three interactive microcomputer (IBM PC or compatible) programs. FILEMAN is a utility program to create, edit and print ‘composition files’, i.e. files containing the records of chemical compositions of minerals or rocks, expressed in terms of primary chemical components. PROJECT recalculates selected compositions in terms of new

An Introduction to Metamorphic Petrology
2020This second edition is fully updated to include new developments in the study of metamorphism as well as enhanced features to facilitate course teaching. It integrates a systematic account of the mineralogical changes accompanying metamorphism of the major rock types with discussion of the conditions and settings in which they formed.

Structure and metamorphic petrology of the Forth metamorphic complex
2023The Forth Metamorphics outcrop in the lower reaches of the Forth River, Northern Tasmania and comprise a banded garnetiferous schist and quartzite, interlayered with sub-ordinate orthoamphibolites of tholeiitic MORB-type affinity. Geochemical and sedimentological constraints are consistent with a passive continental depositional environment and the ...

Principles of igneous and metamorphic petrology
Choice Reviews Online, 2009Building upon the award-winning second edition, this comprehensive textbook provides a fundamental understanding of the formative processes of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Encouraging a deeper comprehension of the subject by explaining the petrologic principles, and assuming knowledge of only introductory college-level courses in physics, chemistry ...

Time and Metamorphic Petrology: Calcite to Aragonite Experiments
Science, 1992Although the equilibrium phase relations of many mineral systems are generally well established, the rates of transformations, particularly in polycrystalline rocks, are not. The results of experiments on the calcite to aragonite transformation in polycrystalline marble are different from those for earlier experiments on powdered and single-crystal ...

Basic Concepts of Metamorphic Petrology
1965Metamorphism usually takes place in response to a rise of temperature. Progressive changes brought about in rocks by rising temperature are called progressive metamorphism. Successive rises of temperature bring about a series of reactions, which might be understood as changes of mineral assemblages approximately at equilibrium.

Experimental petrology related to extreme metamorphism
Tectonophysics, 1977Abstract The symposium was planned and organized by the Commission on Experimental Petrology at High Pressures and Temperatures (CEPHPT), a commission of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS). A central purpose was to present before a wide geological audience papers which illustrated the application of the results of laboratory ...

The three partners of metamorphic petrology
American Mineralogist, 2011Study of the evolution of the Earth’s crust advanced greatly in the last half-century through the dynamic collaboration of three equally contributing partners: field observations, together with microanalysis of mineral assemblages, experimental petrology, and stability calculations based on systematically measured and compiled thermodynamic properties ...
