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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Applications of Raman Spectroscopy in Metamorphic Petrology and Tectonics
Elements, 2020Raman spectroscopy is widely applied in metamorphic petrology and offers many opportunities for geological and tectonic research. Minimal sample preparation preserves sample integrity and microtextural information, while use with confocal microscopes allows spatial resolution down to the micrometer level.

Metamorphic events in the eastern Arunta Inlier, Part 1. Metamorphic petrology
Precambrian Research, 1995Abstract In the Entia Dome of the eastern Arunta Inlier kyanite-facies metamorphism is recorded over a substantial area (at least 160 km 2 ) and thus contrasts with the regionally extensive belts of high-temperature-low-pressure andalusite-sillimanite facies metamorphism documented elsewhere in the Arunta Inlier. This amphibolite facies event appears

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 ...

Principles of Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology
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 ...

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 ...

Metamorphic petrology of the Sarmiento ophiolite complex, Chile
Geology, 1978The Sarmiento Complex of southern Chile is a Mesozoic ophiolite that underwent hydrothermal “ocean-floor metamorphism” prior to its uplift and exposure in the Andean Cordillera. The overprint of this metamorphism exhibits a steep vertical metamorphic gradient although the extent of metamorphic replacement decreases markedly within the gabbro unit of ...
