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 ...

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 ...

Structure and metamorphic petrology of the Forth metamorphic complex
1991The 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 ...

Applications of thermodynamics in metamorphic petrology
1976This paper summarizes the principles of chemical thermodynamics in a form which is convenient for dealing with problems encountered in metamorphic petrology. Particular effort has been made to illustrate thermodynamic concepts by means of graphical representation.

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 ...

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.
