Petrolog3: Integrated software for modeling crystallization processes

TL;DR: Petrolog3 as discussed by the authors is a software for modeling fractional and equilibrium crystallization, reverse fractional crystallization at variable pressure, melt oxidation state and melt H2O contents, and postentrapment reequilibration of melt inclusions in olivine.

The Colima Volcanic complex, Mexico

TL;DR: Volcan Colima as mentioned in this paper is Mexico's most historically active andesitic composite volcano and has evolved through three cycles of activity, each cycle culminated in a major ashflow eruption, halting activity for 50 or more years.

Igneous thermometers and barometers based on plagioclase + liquid equilibria: Tests of some existing models and new calibrations

TL;DR: Several recent models of plagioclase-liquid equilibria are tested for their ability to recover T from their calibration data, and predict T from experiments not used for calibration.

Olivine-Liquid Equilibrium

TL;DR: In this paper, a number of experiments have been conducted in order to study the equilibria between olivine and basaltic liquids and to try and understand the conditions under which OIVINE will crystallize.

Empirical Correction Factors for the Electron Microanalysis of Silicates and Oxides

TL;DR: In this paper, the calibration curve in a binary metal alloy system can, within the variance of data points, be described by the linear expression $$C_{A}/K{A} = \alpha_{AB} + (1 - α_{AB})C{A]$$, where C is the concentration of element A in alloy  relative to pure A, and K is the background-corrected intensity of a characteristic radiation line of A in the alloy relative to that of pure A. This linear variation of the correction factor with composition can be extended to multicomp

The viscosity of magmatic silicate liquids; a model calculation

TL;DR: In this article, a linear equation of the form ln h = Si Xi Di, where h is the Newtonian viscosity coefficient, Xi is the mole fraction of oxide component i, and Di is an empirical constant associated component i over a restricted range of SiO 2 concentration, was used to calculate the viscosities of many natural magmatic liquids.

Partition of Sr, Ba, Ca, Y, Eu/2+/, EU/3+/, and other REE between plagioclase feldspar and magmatic liquid - An experimental study

TL;DR: In this article, plagioclase feldspar/magmatic liquid partition coefficients were determined experimentally at 1 atm total pressure in the temperature range 1150-1400°C.

Water and magmas; a mixing model

TL;DR: A model for the mixing of H2O and silicate melts has been derived from the experimentally determined effects of H 2O on the viscosity (fluidity), volumes, electrical conductivities, and especially the thermodynamic properties of hydrous aluminosilicate melts as mentioned in this paper.
