Session ID#: 52057

Session Description:
Petrochronology is based on the integration of petrological P-T(-A-X) estimates with age data on the minerals that were used to calculate P and T. The apect that so far has received little attention is the role of major element mobility in controlling the thermobarometric record. When mobility is caused by open-system retrogression, petrologic equilibrium is lost; when equilibrium is preserved, it is still necessary to account for diffusive transport and to ascertain that the diffusion rate of the chronometric daughter isotopes is less or equal to the major element diffusion rates.

The present session endeavors to bring together experimental and theoretical work on all of the phenomena that affect petrochronology: (dis-)equilibrium thermobarometry, diffusion, mechanisms of open-system retrogression, high-resolution petrographic imaging, high-resolution multi-element microprobing, and in-situ geochronology.
